Our November issue features a beautifully illustrated article on La Reserva Orquídeas in Colombia; the orchid reserve created by the Sociedad Colombiana de Orquideologia (Colombian Orchid Society) for the preservation of cloud forest orchid habitat and partially supported by a grant from the Conservation Committee of the AOS.  This issue also features an article on Phalaenopsis malipoensis and its hybrids for the miniature-lovers among us; another installment of Stig Dalström's series on the Orchids of Bhutan and, although you might not think of Alaska as orchid habitat, Dr. Benjamin Crain presents a beautiful article on the orchids of the Yukon River Camp and Crossing Contact Station.
