Waghchora flowering

[Neil Soares]

Hi,   Was at my farm at Shahapur today. Waghchora [Pecteilis gigantea] the Queen of ground orchids was flowering. This one stood 53 inches tall.   Had posted photographs of one last year that topped the bar at 48 inches.   .http://groups.google.co.in/group/indiantreepix/search?hl=en&group=indiantreepix&q=Pecteilis+gigantea&qt_g=Search+this+group                       Sending a few photographs.                                 With regards,                                    Neil Soares.

This is great. Gigantic in real sense. Thanks for sharing. Few days back there was an article shared by some where they talked about this natural beauty being lost from wild in and around Pune.

Regards

Pankaj

Hi Neil,

What a beauty! And in such a rich green setting !

It's amazing the number of beautiful treasures you have on the property. Have any of them been introduced or did nature do it all?

Regards,

Padmini Raghavan.

Thank you Ms.Raghavan. As mine is a reasonably protected natural environment, have over the years contributed to the native flora and fauna.                         Regards,                           Neil Soares. --- On Wed, 9/22/10, Padmini Raghavan <pad...@gmail.com> wrote:
