I started this project in 1996 as "Pollinia". Pollinia was a web directory, combined with a web crawler, that indexed only orchid-related sites. Both the crawling and serving was done over a dedicated 56K modem!

In 1999 I registered the orchidwire.com domain name. Since that time the site has undergone many changes.

The main focus now is on making OrchidWire the most comprehensive source for orchid site listings available! I could use your help. If you know of a site (with a focus on orchids) not listed here, please send me the URL.

Listings are free.

This site is visited by people from over 120 countries every month. I hope you enjoy your visit here, and discover many interesting sites about orchids. Please come back often!
