Thiruvananthapuram: India has to produce its own hybrid varieties of orchid if it is to make a mark in the international market for ornamental flowers, according to Martin Motes, noted orchid breeder, grower and author.
Addressing orchid farmers in the district at a function here on Tuesday, Dr. Motes said they stood to gain little by growing a few varieties from Thailand and Singapore.
