Welcome to "Orchid Planet"

Our consultant
Stepanov Nikolay Vitalievich, PhD in biology. His business sphere is systematization and geography of plants. He dreamt to be biologist since the early school times and was growing and cultivating almost everything, but as it is known it is impossible to "bind something unbounded". Mr. Stepanov travels a lot and sees in plants the live creatures, which are able to feel and sense the feelings. He is most interested in finding the common language with plants, and in learning to understand them. In that sense orchids are the most mysterious creatures. Sometimes it is too complicated to speak with them. But once the one can understand these plants, they will surprise with significant flowers, original view, non-typical behavior. Our consultant mostly likes the Paphiopedilum and Cattleya species. As the follower of systematization of plants, Mr. Stepanov tends to have in his collection almost everything which is possible. At present his collection accounts to 250 species and sorts of orchids.
