Talk on the genus Restrepia by Dr Helen Millner, President of the Orchid Society of Great Britain.

Dr Helen Millner has been growing orchids for over thirty years  and has been a member of the OSGB for about seventeen years. She has put on numerous orchid displays at all types of shows and all over The UK, including Chelsea, Chatsworth, the London Orchid Show and in addition in Germany and South Africa.

After retiring, she returned to University to undertake orchid research - in particular Restrepia pollination biology for which she was awarded a doctorate. She specialises in Pleurothallids which are her main love, in particular, the mystery of the minute and microscopic side of orchids and how they help to reveal the fascinating facts of orchid biology.
