[OGD] MAdison Who's Who--SPAM??
Peter, I get dozens of these kinds of "offers". They are as valuable as the cost of sending the unsolicited message Nothing. Check out the member list. Oh, sorry, you can't unless you are a member... And it costs you something to become a member. This sounds pretty good but, sorry to say, the spammers and crooks out there are getting better and better. This is someone trying to get Lee Moore to part with his money. Who cares about Madison's Who's Who?

Re: [OGD] kovachii
The accusation that the kovachii seedlings from Peruflora are possibly not kovachii was once again made in OGD 8(348) in the letter Richard Orr posted from the Moore's and reinforced by Peter Croezen in OGD 8(349). As an observer, I want to know if anyone has any proof or even any reasonably sound evidence that the Peruflora Pk are not what they were sold as? So far all I have heard is hearsay and innuendo (e.g., a friend of a friend who visited the greenhouse told me...). I get the feeling this is one of those situations where the truth of the plants' origin won't be known for certain until the fastest growing seedlings start blooming. Although only 5 plants were legally collected by each nursery, each plant probably had 10+ mature growths. Some of the collected plants were undoubtedly in bud or bloom (as evidenced by their display in bloom at an orchid show in late 2003 and the Koopowitz article in the Oct/Dec 2003 OD article). Phrag. kovachii spikes typically carry 1-3 blooms. In three years' time, it wouldn't be unreasonable to expect that at least 50-100 seedpods could be produced. And a quick question: Does anyone know how many Peruvian nurseries have been authorized to collect 5 plants each of Phrag. kovachii? Is there a list somewhere on the INRENA site? I don't read Spanish, so I can't tell.

Re: [OGD] Peru
Concerning the Lee and Zadith Moore letter posted on this forum Oct 10, 2006, by SheriffOrr. I was not at all surprised at what Lee and Zadith Moore said in their letter, concerning the Arias "laboratory" and their doubt that the Peruflora Pk seedlings sold are genuine Pk. This has all been said before, both in Peru and outside its borders. The difference this time is that it is being said by the Moores, who have lived and collected orchids in Peru for over 45 years; who know every orchid collector and every vendor in the area they live and work in, Moyobamba, Peru, near where the Pk habitats once were. They know Manuel Arias very well, having gone on orchid collecting trips with Manuel for many years. Lee is highly respected in the orchid world; he has discovered many new orchid species and other plant species, several were named after him. Lee has been awarded many honours by many biological institutes. The most recent one on October 4, 2006 I will post in a message right after this one. Finally, Lee has never been afraid to speak out and put it in writing. Whatever Lee says about Peru, Peruvian people and Peruvian orchids, you better believe he knows what he is talking about, as does his wife Zadith, who is Peruvian born. To Bill Bergstrom who said: >"Manuel started flasking in the 80s..I spent many a day (sometimes a month at a time) >at Manuel's house..and I can assure you that he had a very nice flasking operation going >even then." 1) Exactly where was that "Manuel Arias flasking lab" located, when you visited it in the 80's? 2) Was this lab at his home, or at his greenhouses complex in Lima? 3) Have you visited that lab since 1995 and what did you find as far as number of flasks? 4) Have you visited the Arias Pk propagation lab since 2002? Bill, you also said: >"...and I can also assure you that the K seedlings are genuine..." 5) How can you be so certain; what proof do you have for those who purchased them and are worried? peter ___ the OrchidGuide Digest (OGD) orchids@orchidguide.com http://orchidguide.com/mailman/listinfo/orchids_orchidguide.com
[OGD] partnership with Chinese Floranational (UK)
"WISBECH firm [Wisbech, Cambridgeshire (Cambs) : see a map : http://www.picturesofengland.com/images/mapofengland/england-counties.gif] Suttons, featured recently in the Sunday Times/Virgin Atlantic Top 100 UK companies, has acquired a 50 per cent stake S-Flora, a collaboration with China's leading producer of exotic Orchid plants, Floranational. "Between the two companies there are now over 250 hectares of covered production area involving over 2000 employees," said Derek Burgoyne, Suttons' managing director. Suttons will use the specialist knowledge and growing techniques of the Chinese within the company's seven hectare glasshouse complex at their P A Moerman site near Spalding, a site that has previously been awarded Grower of the Year on two consecutive years. Richard Coats, sales director at Suttons, said: "Not only do we have the specialist knowledge and expertise from China to produce superior quality, but we will be able to offer major retailers and wholesale the best range and prices throughout Europe'" Mr Burgoyne says he is excited about the prospects of developing other new and rare types of plants in China from Floranational's extensive micro propagation facilities,. "It would be very satisfying if we could be developing new products in China, finishing them off in the UK, and exporting them to Europe in the future," he said. "Much as we admire and respect the Dutch industry, we strive to be the very best in our industry bar none" he said.

[OGD] Peru
While I have the utmost respect for the Moores..and spent time with them in the old days when one could collect in Peru..pre CITES...I have one dispute about what was said in their latest letter..They should very well know that Manuel started flasking in the 80s..I spent many a day (sometimes a month at a time) at Manuels house..and I can assure you that he had a very nice flasking operation going even then...So it does not surprize me that he has full grown plants to sell from flask...and I can also assure you that the K seedlings are genuine...and that he also made at least one hybrid with it...though mine all died...as for whether he is trying to corner the market..I cannot agree with any such action if , indeed, he has purposely done so...just that he does have, and has had, full grown plants from flask..and NOT whether some of the plants to be sold might be collected...that has and always will be done by nurseries..Binot in Brazil was known for that practise..as others, I am sure... ___ the OrchidGuide Digest (OGD) orchids@orchidguide.com http://orchidguide.com/mailman/listinfo/orchids_orchidguide.com

Wedge... travelled the 780km Cape Town with the plant in a box in his trailer... "... I gave the register of orchid judges a 48-hour request to have my plant judged, and they gave me a day to get to Cape Town." Once there, four judges awarded Wedge a South African Oncology Consortium (SAOC) certificate of cultural excellence of 90%... a gold medal.
