Dear members, 
One of our most valuable members, Ashwini Bhatia ji, has written a wonderful 'Orchids of Dharamshala', describing in detail the complexity and beauty of the orchids. This is the result of his untiring work of more than the last 5 years. 
He has mesmerised us earlier with his superb photographs. 
I am attaching details about the book.
My hats off to him for this great work.

Thank you very much Dr Kuriakose, Dr Rawat, Dr Thakur, Sam Kuzhalanattu ji, Dr Choudhary, Prashant Avale ji, A. Lalithamba ji, Saroj Kasaju ji, Dinesh Valke ji, Dr Pankaj and Garg ji.
Just typing this message to such stalwarts of the group made me very happy. This small work would not have been possible without your generous support and guidance over the years.

Dr Pankaj has already given me his valuable inputs on the book and I would be grateful for your comments and suggestions.  

I hope you will continue to guide me with your advice.

With gratitude,
Ashwini
