 Welcome! My name is Karma. I live in Gothenburg Sweden and I am a certified orchidophile with a penchant for orchids of the Pleurothallid Alliance, but we don’t have an exclusive relationship... I am also the editor for the Swedish Orchid Society magazine "Orkidéer". If you would like to contribute, or know of any interesting orchid stories or people - please send them my way! Thanks for stopping by!   |
