0 Comments - Research in Sikkim

By Luke Barnes | October 15, 2009

While in the Sikkim Himalayas I conducted a research project into orchid diversity with altitude. The results are due to be published, as well as being on display at the RHS London Orchid Show in 2010. Below is a pre-publishing preview.

This is my 6th year involved with the project and now run the Micropropagation Lab and administer the website. I've been to Sikkim, in the Himalayas and also to the Cape Town flower show and am looking forward to going to Laos later this year. My favourite orchid probably has to be Coelogyne cristata.
