Any one can be wrong in id of plant on the basis of just picture of flower or leaves...thats not big issue but when it comes to you Pankaj,yeah i am sure you are after that specimen till you will be satisfied that your identification is 100% correct ... thats why i trust you and i validate id of all my orchids from you, i appreciate your dedication and sincerity Yeah you asked for more pictures from me to validate previous id...thats true.... Experts like you, Gurucharan sir&many more makes group richer!!! so be with us...with group for perfect id... Cheers!!!
