    Just some words to tell you that my friend Michelle, from "Malala Orchidées", died the 6th of April.

    Those who are lucky to cultivate orchids which come from her, take great care of them... there won't be orchids from Malala anymore .:(

    So sad. Never met her, but have received some goodies from her. From what I hear, she did some good work getting those plants out of Madagascar

    That is a great loss to the orchid world. I have many plants that came from her over the years and will treasure them even more now.

    Always sad to hear of someone's passing. A major figure lost in the orchid world.
