completion of 12 years of efloraofindia
To: itpmods <[email protected]>
Thanks Garg ji and all friends for kind words. Yes I see lesser activity in
the group, and don't see many posts by members. Compilation of data and
putting it on the website is a great and very useful activity undertaken by
Garg ji and others, but I think posting of new plants is also very
necessary for keeping this email group active, when members find it more
convenient to interact on Facebook and WhatsApp.
Thanks friends for all the love showered on me.
