To the people who dont know of Andys orchid exploits in the Shakey Isles (NZ) His great triumph was to ???? breed lovely PENDULOUS spiked cymbidiums and when they flowered, stake them STRAIGHT UP so that when the poor hobbiest bought them thinking thats the way they flowered found that they didn't. His excuse was that they were easier to transport. This is true but he forgot to mention this in his advertising. If anything, Andy created ways to market orchids that no true orchid lover would ever contemplate. I would actually like to know how much it cost him to have his infamous cym Gladys Whitesall " The Charmer" to win the World Orchid conference. I'm sorry Andy, your knowledge is probably extensive due to the places you have worked but all this is to no avail as it seems all of it is being used to climb a ladder. Unfortunately the ladder leads to a bucket of natural fertilzer. Your self imposed pedistal of grandeur is all BS and someone
with the experience and deemed position in the orchid world should have you in demand for clinical advice and be trusted in comment. The whole deal is questionable about any knowledge or qualifications that you or anyone else expresses about you. Its a shame that more people dont have a builtin BS detector, if they did you would be on the soup line.
