Dear members,

Pankaj ji has achieved a landmark of 7000 messages in efi just a few hours back since his joining in July 2010.
It is by any means a great milestone, for this world known Orchidologist.

What sets him different from others is his unmatched expertise in this field.

It is because of him that we can say that accuracy of our database on Orchids is much more than on other plants/ families.

He sticks to his job, without much of thank you mails, like from many of us.

He has been an inspiration from the days he joined us and continue to guide us on this uncharted path.

He is among the top few as far as the contributions to building of efloraofindia are concerned.

My hat off to Pankaj ji, for his unmatched contributions.

I would thank Pankaj (one of very few people I don't attach suffix ji, he is too special for me), rather than congratulating him, for helping us to learn so much about flowers in genera, orchids specially. Keep achieving more milestones.

Thank you everyone for your kind words. Association with eflora and the members have always been special to me. And I am honored by the love and respect I have received here. As I have always said, this is more like a family and a selfless event. I wish I can contribute more and faster.

Special thanks to Garg sir for this group members. And a super special thanks to Gurcharan sir for I have learnt a lot from him, of which the first thing is his humbleness.

Thanks and best regards

Pankaj.
