There are enough gay men on this board, and in various Orchid organizations that people really should be a little more careful in their hurling of epithets. I too agree that Iris is not deserving of such bile from Mr. Easton. Her posts are full of information, humor and charm. Using the term "woofter" insults me, and many others; much as saying "like a Jew" to describe parsimony would insult many (like me, as a Jew also). People need both to respect others' differences, and think before they speak. On an Orchidaceous note, I recently was given Spiranthes sinensis, a plant I had long desired to have. Will this plant thrive in conditions suitable for Spiranthes odorata? Specifically, will it handle wet winters? Thanks, Dennis Westler
