"A rare opportunity came about that I could not turn down” A chance to travel with a group of passionate plantsmen to explore the remote and vast mountainous and forested region of the eastern Himalayas in Myanmar (Burma)
For many, this region is the 'Holy grail' for plant hunting where so many fine garden plants were first discovered by intrepid Botanists over the last century.
