[OGD] Mr. Strayhorn???

Back where I come from, stray horns ran a real risk of being chopped off! Don't you just love these anonymous (read cowardly) posters who haven't the backbone to use their own name. Really they don't deserve a reply but I can't resist. One of the beauties of being a thinking AOS member and not

[OGD] I have a sick orchid and am also growing orchids in alifor

I'm also growing some of my orchids in alifor (most of the new seedlings are in fine sized alifor). So far almost all of the seedlings like it and they seem to not get bacterial infections as much as the ones in bark and are hard to over water. I recently repotted a Bifrenaria artropurpurea

[OGD] are there orchids behind those trees ?

Hello OGDers : On 16 July, I asked : What is the purpose of the following decision (?) : America's agriculture secretary, Ann Veneman, ended a directive that protects almost 60m acres of national forest in western states from road building. The states will instead be allowed to submit their own

[OGD] AOS elections

Mr. Easton has lashed out at all and sundry because some people prefer anonymous posting . . . Isn't that the pot calling the kettle black? Think about it. The AOS executive and Trustees meet in secret and they have usually held that their discussions, nominations, decisions, etc. remain

[OGD] Encyclia howardii

I have been looking for a division of Encyclia howardii for more than 10 years. This is a Cuban Encyclia species and was brought to the United States by the von Paulsens and the Osments who moved to South Florida from Cuba after Castro took over. There may still be pieces in South Florida or

[OGD] Orchids of the US West

[EMAIL PROTECTED] queried thusly: I was somewhat surprised though that some people did not seem to see a relation between forests and orchids. Sometimes it's tough to, er, see the forest for the trees. This is why one never fully appreciates toilet paper until it has run out. Are
