[OGD] apologies (was: Rebuilding the archives or what?)
Hello all, First of all I would like to apologize for all the bounce messages that you have received. As already guessed it was an attempt by myself to rebuild the archives... and obviously it did not work as planned. I have been looking into the archives stored at "The Mail Archive" (http://www.mail-archive.com/orchids@orchidguide.com/) to see if this might be a good and easy way to store/search all messages. They seem to have a do-it-yourself upload of messages, but I have no doubt typed an error somewhere in the command while attempting to upload some 7000+ messages from the beginning of this year... I'll look into it more and next time I'll try a limited set of my message first to see the effect :-) Sorry for the inconvenience ! Kenneth. ___ the OrchidGuide Digest (OGD) [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://orchidguide.com/mailman/listinfo/orchids_orchidguide.com

As previously mentioned, I was given a small piece of Cyrtochilum meirax about six weeks ago. Not having a California chain-link fence or a Peruvian tree handy, I mounted it on a piece of tree fern with some sphagnum moss & hung it under the lights. It gets dunked every day and fed once a week. It lost one leaf. Since then it sits there & nothing has happened. It is not dying and not growing. What can I do to jump-start it? I have a seedling of two awarded B. nodosa which I bought 2 1/2 years ago. It is mounted on tree fern, spends summers outdoors in the sun, winters under the lights. Watering & feeding as above. It is absolutely healthy but hasn't bloomed. I tried a dry rest for three weeks but nothing is happening. How do I get it to bloom? A jungle-collected dog used to bloom for me. I have a C. walkeriana which is OK but not very happy. Should I mount it on cork? I have an Slc. Mile High Magic (Pink Doll x Bright Angel) which is definitely unhappy. I assume my plant room is too warm. I could put it in the unheated guest room (south window), where I keep Neof. falcata for the winter, but right now it will only get 8 hours of daylight. How do I get Pths. wagneri and Macroclinium bicolor to bloom? My Sigmatostalix guatemalensis blooms regularly. Right now it is putting out three new inflorescences. I recently noticed it is putting out another stem from the same pseudobulb, but this one apparently has a keiki on the end. Is this allowed? An observation: Onc. Twinkle (cheirophorum x ornithorhynchum) was registered in 1958, but took 40 years before it became popular & got awarded. That has happened to other orchids, like C. percivaliana 'Summit.' In this case it may be one of those which is better suited to windowsills & under lights than a greenhouse. My 'Red Fantasy' is a weed and produced 288 flowers last May. I'd like to see it crossed with something that has large flowers, but apparently it only breeds with its own section.

[OGD] Re: Rebuilding the archives or what?
Several people seem to be having the same problem. Apparently someone is sending, probably to Kenneth, all of the old OG posts. The server stanhopea.potto-webdesign.com doesn't like the messages and is replying to the original sender instead of just the individual (choose your own epithet) who is sending the emails. Whoever it is - PLEASE STOP. You are probably causing the frequent posters to have an effective denial-of-service attack. Thanks, Marquis Z. Hodes Member of OG since the restart-old days. ___ the OrchidGuide Digest (OGD) [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://orchidguide.com/mailman/listinfo/orchids_orchidguide.com

Subject: [OGD] Modern Phrag Hybrids: Books/Publications? From: "marianne.fleurimont" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hello evryone, especially Marianne, also when there is no actual book about the genus and the hybrids of the genus Phragmipedium, you can find pictures of all species in the spezial issue of The Orchid Digest Vol 67 (4). There you can find also many pictures of the modern hybrids with Phragmipedium besseae and others. Also very interesting for you would be te articles about Phragmipedium hybrids in the journal of The German Orchid Society 'Die Orchidee'. In the last years around 15 articles were published with around 200 pictures of the crosses. The last was published this year in the issue 2 about the new primary hybrids of besseae, besseae forma flava and dalessandroi. Also an article about the hybrids with Phrag. fscheri was published.

I received 4 emails I sent to the list around Aug of this year and they all came back as undeliverable...Kenneth, what's going on here, maybe you should post an explanation?
