Orchid Discussion Groups

GardenWeb
This forum is for the discussion of orchids, how to grow them, special care, sources of plants, etc. I have posted questions here myself and received lots of good answers.

Orchid Safari
"The Friendly Orchid Chat". You will have to sign up to gain access to 'the conference room', but then you can chat in real time with other orchid enthusiasts. If there seems to be no activity in the room go to the bottom of the screen and click on "Who's Where" and you will see a list of people presently online and what chat rooms they are in.

orchidspecies
A list for growers and hobbyists to discuss natural history, cultivation, conservation, ecology, taxonomy of orchid species. Primarily for species enthusiasts rather than domestic hybrids.

Please send me all the best links that you know about.
