My section on Orchids gets lots of visibility

January 28, 2004

 


I usually don’t like to gloat about my blog; somehow its success seems to be proportional to the temporary magnitude of the Venezuelan political crisis and nothing else. But I can not help but feel proud about the fact that the Orchids section of my blog has now been recognized three times by major publications. A few months ago, Susan Jones wrote an article for the monthly magazine of the American Orchid Society, which appeared in November in which my blog and an orchid blog from Canada were noted. Well, this week, as my PC died, the blog section of the U.K. newspaper The Guardian mentioned my blog as “Top blog” on Jan. 22nd. Here is a copy (strangely enough, once a new top blog is picked the reference to the old one disappears, but Goggle saves the day!):

The Devil’s Excrement
January 22: Since reading < A>The Orchid Thief I have been fascinated by Orchids. This blog by a Venezuelan orchid enthusiast is packed with stunning images of flowers and radiates enthusiasm about these amazing plants.
