    I just launched a new site, and I encourage everyone here to go look around! It's pretty small right now, but I expect it to grow over the next weeks, months, and years. Here's a link --> Bulbophyllum.com. I still have a lot of work to do on it, but one species at a time...

    If anyone would like to contribute images or information or links or...?, please feel free to PM me.

    Cheers!

    You should send it to the "big" bulbo guys & see if they'll contribute!
    You could offer pieces of that awesome bulbo. you posted yesterday, as an incentive....

    Wolfgang Bandisch said I could use any of his images from OrchidsPNG. I need to go through his site. After that, I'll approach others. Thanks for the idea, Karen. :)

    Would it be possible for you to add foliage shots as well as blooms? I always find myself looking for new bulbos to buy however I never know if Ill like the plant because I can never find pics of the plant....just the bloom. I think this could be a great additional resource that would set your site apart from the other orchid photograph sites.

    Very nice lay out Jon. I like the grey backgroud which makes the pics stand out well. I'll look forward to seeing your site grow!

    I like the layout and the color scheme also except for the white text on gray. I didn't read any of it because it's too hard to see. Those of us that are age challenged have a problem with color schemes with low contrast levels. Nothing beats black on white.
