| I published this book vol.2 as a deluxe edition,
I believe. You will be able to feel and recognize the nature
of wild orchids in Shan, Myanmer. I believe you can enjoy the
nature and the atmosphere around the orchids. In a few years,
the nature might be disappeared and the information in this book
would be valuable materials. About the first volume win popularity
and the enlarged edition will published again in English and
French in Dec. The third volume will be published in Feb, 2005.
Please hope for the vol.3 too. Dr. Yoshitaka Tanaka PhD in Bangkok Executive Director of The Foundation of Agricultural Development and Education |
