The newspaper report on the four-inflorescence blooming of the species in NY shows what happens when a reporter writes about something without seeing other exemplars of the subject matter. Of course, for a person in NY state that is an immpressive flowering of the species. For some people in the tropics that is a small flowering of the species.
I wonder how would the writer of the article reacted had he seen this album of a blooming plant of Gramatophyllum speciosum http://home-and-garden.webshots.com/album/58901890bpvzPO :) _________________________________________________________________ Explore the seven wonders of the world http://search.msn.com/results.aspx?q=7+wonders+world&mkt=en-US&form=QBRE _______________________________________________ the OrchidGuide Digest (OGD) orchids@orchidguide.com http://orchidguide.com/mailman/listinfo/orchids_orchidguide.com
