Orchid sites
Here you can find descriptions of some of Europe's richest orchid areas. You access the pages either by clicking on the links to the right or through sub-headings in the menu "Orkidélokaler".
Most pages describe geographically well-defined areas, such as islands like Crete or Sardinia. But some pages treat larger areas, such as France or Sweden. Detailed descriptions are given on those pages about which areas are covered.
Selected locations in this summary are those which I have visited. Therefore, there is much of Europe, which is interesting from an orchid point of view, but does not appear here.
Each area is supposed to be presented by a general introduction and the following sub-menus to this:
- Review of the orchid flora of the area
- Table of orchid flowering times
- Orchid Books for the area / Links to related websites
For the moment "Sweden" is the only site that is in English. All other are in Swedish. Use "Orkidélokaler" in the main menu to go to any of those.
