BRAZILIAN ORCHIDS

This page comprises different aspects regarding Brazilian Orchids that I think might be relevant or just interesting for growers. At this point, two regular columns are included, as following. Any comments just send me an e-mail.

PHOTO SECTION

The "Photo section" page will feature varied subjects according to merits going from rarity to flower quality to just plain weirdness. Each photo will include some information related to the subject. This page is going to be subdivided in the future according to the amount of pictures, something like a maximum of 5 or 10 for each sub-page. The exact way I still haven't decided. The updates probably are also not going to be in a regular timely basis.

SPECIES

The "Species" pages are, well, that. Besides basic information about the featured species, habitat information is put whenever available to add something new and useful to help in cultivation. In the start, these will mostly comprise the Cattleya alliance, but I will try to have it the most varied as possible in the future. These pages are organized alphabetically for easy future access. As a final note, the flowering season information on the species is according to their natural habitat in Brazil, and for the correct time in the northern hemisphere one should add 6 months. I decided to do that as a lot of people keep asking me when such or such species bloom in the habitat.
