Greenhouse orchids of the family of Marcel Lecoufle (photos) are not only famous in France, the world is known. The orchid garden of Marcel Lecoufle is located on the outskirts of Paris.
He said: "We repeat the process of taking pollen as in nature, ie when insects fly from one flower to another."
Although he was 93 years old, not only did Mr. Macxel Löcufl suffer from tremors, he was still clever and precise enough to manipulate artificial pollination for flowers. Diligent with tens of thousands of such experiments, he now continues to breed new orchids.
For many decades, the name Lecoufle has been known in the world for its cultivation of orchids, a family tradition since the 19th century.
He added: "The orchids here are sold to anyone who likes. We also preserve rare orchids".
In his home garden he also has tiny orchids, originating from Kenya, Cameroun, Ethiopia. They have completely disappeared in nature. He bred and maintained more than 1,000 individuals in a greenhouse.
His family has 3 generations involved in growing orchids: Mr. Macxel's daughter and grandchildren also participate in the garden's work. They have also accumulated their own experiences to multiply orchid clones. Currently, the Lecoufle family owns nearly 200 orchids, some extremely rare and preserved in their orchid gardens.
