Respected Sirs and dear friends. Thanks a lot for the coordination and uploads. I am extremely sorry but I think I couldn't come up to the marks as I have just opened my Vandeae tribe folder. I have then HUGE collection of Bulbophyllum and Bulbophyllum too which I couldn't start. I hope I was able to identify atleast 50% the id requests except for the hybrids. I am sorry that I had been too busy due to work and upcoming conferences. On 27th October and 15th November, I am going to China for nearly 10 days each. So I have to make urgent preparations for the same for myself as well as for colleagues and seniors. And ofcourse then there are day today works at office which doesnt allow me to open my mails during office hours. Please do repost you queries incase I have missed, except for hybrids. If you need any specific hybrids to identify then you may please send me, I will try to forward it to someone who can help. You must be surprised to know that GOD MADE 26000 ORCHIDS IN 50 MILLION YEARS, BUT HUMAN MADE MORE THAN 150,000 ORCHIDS WITHIN 50 YEARS !! Hence you need a distinct expertise to identify hybrids. Thanks again for all your supports and special thanks to Gurcharan sir for encouraging me for this episode. I will try to upload as much as I can before the end of this episode. Best regards Pankaj
