Luke Barnes and Simon Pugh Jones braved the snow to care for the plants!

All schools in the south west may be shut because of snow, but writhlington orchid project carries on regardless!  It’s 7 degrees in the cool end but the snow seems to be forming a nice inulating blanket over most of the greenhouse.

The lab is a nice warm 25 degrees but I’m told that doesn’t count!

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.
