Issue 1-2023 is here!
The first issue of this year again offers a lot of information about our favorite plants – from a travelogue about orchids in spectacular landscapes in the Southwest USA, to the recipe for a tonic made of tansy and horsetail that even helps against certain pests, to a report on the new epiphyte house in the botanical garden in Münster and much more.
Take a quick look at our sample article, which this time is about drunken insects, or become a member right away.
All D.O.G. members receive 6 issues of our magazine “Die Orchidee” free of charge every year. Just apply for membership here.
“Die Orchidee” is the bimonthly publication of the German Orchid Society, which all members of the Society receive. It contains articles on all topics related to orchids and is one of the most renowned publications in this field in the world. Those who are interested will find detailed travel reports from the natural habitats of orchids with high-quality site photographs, field reports on new cultivation methods, but also news from the taxonomy of orchids in our magazine. Furthermore, the “Pages for Beginners” offer practical tips and tricks for newcomers, which are also readily accepted by experienced orchid lovers. If you want to get an overview of our magazine, you can browse through the table of contents of the years in which all articles are listed. A sample of the last special issue Judging Results is also available for viewing.
In addition, we offer you the opportunity to read a sample of a complete issue online. (Attention, this is a very large file with approx. 17 MB. This is due to the high number of images and cannot be reduced!)
