These orchids was displayed in International Flori Show 2008, held at Saramsa Garden at Gangtok from 14th to 16th March, 2008. Other then tourism, trekking and mountains Sikkim flaunts a wide range of flora and fauna.Nowhere in the world in such a small area can one find flora and fauna of all varieties - Tropical to the Alpines. Sikkim's botanical and zoological richness is awe- inspiring, boasting of more than 4000 species of plants and 30% of all the birds found in the Indian sub-continent .The lowlands in the south, 800'to 5000', experience a tropical climate; lush vegetation such as figs, laurel, Sal trees and bamboos have been cleared in some areas for farming. The temperate forest of oak, chestnut, maple, birch, alder, magnolia and silver fir dominates between 5000; and 13000. Above 13000, is the alpine zone where juniper, cypresses and rhododendrons grow. The perpetual snowline lies at 16000'. Luxuriant forests cover 36% of the land, more than 4000 species of plant have been recorded in Sikkim. Over 600 species of orchids grow in Sikkim, Epiphytal and terresterial types, in the tropical and temperate zones. 35 species of rhododendrons grow in temperate and alpine regions, their flowering from May to August colours hillsides.

White Point Eyedropper

I tried to make the flowers more beautiful.
1. clicked on the most white point carefully with the White Point Eyedropper in the levels dialog box in PS CS2.
2. increased saturation.
3. softened the sharpness a little bit.

hope you like it!
