1 Comments - Greetings from Manchester!

Greetings from the Big Bang Fair in Manchester!

As you may be aware we are in manchester from now until Saturday for two reasons:

1) I (Luke Barnes) am in the finals of the National Science and Engineering Competition (intermediate age category, science devision).  This means that I have a little display up here, displaying my work on Changing orchid altitudes in the Sikkim Himalayas.

2) We (Writhlington Orchid Project) have a stand demonstrating our STEM Club (Science, technology, engineering & maths).  This will include demonstrations of Micropropagation of Orchids at the show, as well as talking to people about our project.

I look forward to keeping you up to date on both of these ‘strands’ or our presence at the Big Bang.  It looks so far like it’s going to be an amazing event!

Until next time!

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.
