Native terrestrial alpine orchids

[float=left][/float]hile many people discover their love for orchids when they received their very first phal as a gift, I got hooked to orchids after discovering some of the native beauties of my region. I was lucky enough to do the first two years of horticultural studies in a small college in the alpine town of Chambéry. One of my courses involved a series of hikes in the Alps around Chambéry to discover the local flora. Hike after hike, I became more and more attracted to these small orchids that survive the harsh alpine winters.
