I am just a small potato as I have always said and I have learnt a lot from this group. It's an honor for me to be recognised as "Jewel of eFloraofIndia". Thank you Garg sir for having me here and to all the tireless members who kept posting orchid images from all over India and even neighbouring countries, and kept me alive. I have gained much more than what I have given. Thanks and regards Pankaj
