And so ends two very enjoyable and interesting two weeks, today was a finishing off day with my report and micropropagation being finished and has now been uploaded (Micropropagation Report – J.O’Rourke). I also helped sow seeds from the native, common spotted orchid which we had collected yesterday from the local area.
As this is my final blog post I would like to thank the Writhlington Orchid Project for their welcoming and friendly atmosphere. In particular I would like to thank Simon for organising the placement and helping me throughout. I would also like to thank Luke Barnes for his help and expertees for the duration of the placement. I wish all the best to the Project in the future and am looking forward to coming to the Autumn Festival in September.
I hope you have enjoyed reading my blog

I have really enjoyed reading John’s blog over the last fortnight – he has obviously had a fantastic time on work experience. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Writhlington School for giving John such an interesting and varied two weeks.
