So if you are asking yourself… what is it with this website?

One of my passions is to search for orchids and do photos of them… so here are the results of this passion. But because I’m a biologist I try to put a name on this and also try to learn more about, where, when, why…

So here you will find two list:

• Orchids of Romania checklist where all Romanian species (the list in this moment is after Delforge, 2006 but this will suffer some changes because of my new findings or new literature… i will try to name also sources for that) will have a page
• All orchids, will appear soon (around tree weeks… I tell you a little later why so late), where all orchids I have met will have a page I say all because also when I’m abroad I try to find as many species possible)

Some photos that are already online:

What you will find here: except that will be a photo gallery I will try to summarize some aspect of that particular plant species some words about description, about where is growing, the range, pollinators and genetics… this on very short. And because in Romania a database for biodiversity exists and there is a map-service I will embed this so you can see in real time the known distribution (this is referring to the data available in that database). Always there the new members will be welcomed and also their data ;). Something more about this HERE.

In the photo gallery on each photo will be some detail about the photo.

Some other section will come later… so keep an eye here.

For now the work here probably will stop because in the morning I will be fro something like a period or 3 weeks in a study trip… hope to bring back also some orchids.

Have fun and thank you for the visit here.
