Hello, Just as an update to my post to culture for spiranthes sinensis, and the finding I posted that seemed that the species should like wet feet; I have been told that since there are several species in a very large area that are called sinensis, some of them, maybe more likely the very warm areas may end up being found in wet areas, and others in more northern areas will not like wet feet, but as one person who responded to my post pointed out that the plants they had of it in a rock garden in massachusetts very much did not grow in a wet area, but in something more like what spiranthes lacera would be in; more like standard damp woodland moisture, not wet at all but not really dry. I guess you just have to try one thing, keep an eye on it and if it looks unhappy then adjust it quickly!

Cody, you just posted that people in Canada are Americans, too, North Americans.... I agree. America as in the American Orchid Society is of people that live in America, 'The Americas' which consists of South, Central and North America. AOS members should not 'keep out of it' because they live in Canada. But Cody, you then state 'you americans think you're the only people on earth......' ; you make the same error. Since Canadians are also 'americans',just as you here pointed out, you are also chiding yourself and your countrymen for being egotistical! : ) Just making a point. Your statement is incorrect of course, as there are millions of United States Americans that really don't make any point of caring about placing themselves above or below anybody else in the rest of the world; most of them are too busy trying to make ends meet to even know there is a world out there, and are no different than you are. It is too easy to stereotype a very large amount of people because of the inevitability of finding someone that matches a stereotype; there are all kinds, everywhere. take care, charles my paph malipoense, after months and months of its flower stalk growing and growing and growing, the first bud fell off before it fully opened a few weeks back, and the second one fell off this morning after almost making it completely open. at least I was able to smell the chocolate/raspberry scent for a few days before the flower succumbed to it's fear of heights and commited suicide.... -- Charles Ufford Calen the Border Collie CGC - now in Heaven Oriskany, NY USA IPA, Central NY and Southern Tier Orchid Societies [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.paphiopedilum.net Http://www.geocities.com/charlesufford
