All about orchids
Staff Reporter
Bangalore: Orchids are fascinating, loved and revered as symbols of purity and sanctity. The Western Ghats in Karnataka is home to an amazing range of wild orchids, while Bangalore has long hosted Himalayan orchids, ornate and hybrid exotics, in the gardens of passionate growers.
Well-known botanist T. Ananda Rao has collaborated with ornithologist and photographer S. Sridhar, to bring out “Wild Orchids in Karnataka- A Pictorial Compendium”, which is at once a run through the captivating world of orchids and a journey in the ecological hotspots of Karnataka.
The original “Orchid Man”, Dr. Ananda Rao, has dedicated the book to Hanumanthu, a monkey that helped him collect orchids from tall trees in the Western Ghats, in the “orchid guilds”, or the special ecological niches where orchids can be found in the Talacauvery range, the Bababudangiri-Kudremukh National Park area, and in the Dandeli-Sirsi-Yellapur area.
