learning to identify orchids by stem and leaf
I'm trying to educate myself as a new orchid lover, and one thing I was
wondering was if anyone can post a link to sites which aid in orchid identification. I found some goos drawings at a Nova Scotia site http://www.chebucto.ns.ca/Recreation...S/osnsfaq.html but would really appreciate being able to look at pictures of orchid plants with their species name. Most pictures (of course) tend to focus on flowers. I'm trying to learn to pick out the basics when I see plants that are not in bloom. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance. -- Chuck 2.0 **** Diversity is Fragile and must be Cultivated |

One suggestion is to not put much faith in identification based upon
vegetative growth. You ***might*** get a good guess on the genus, or at least the "type," but not on the particular species. -- Ray Barkalow - First Rays Orchids - www.firstrays.com Plants, Supplies, Books, Artwork, and Lots of Free Info! ..
