[OGD] Catasetum saccatum source request
I've killed one, too. I think it probably came from Oak Hill in Illinois. Other possible sources might be Hoosier, Sunset Valley or even Andy's. Good luck.

[OGD] On the World Orchid Society
The problem with their e-mails was that they began asking for photos and articles BEFORE "they" introduced themselves. All they said is we,we,webut who is we? Yes, now we know, but I had already blocked their address just in case and I'll leave it that way for now!

[OGD] Orchid Artist Intro RE: Orchids Digest, Vol 8, Issue 16
Like you, Dot I am an artist. My interests, as yours, the beauty: shape, color, form, pattern, texture, variety in orchids. I joined last month and so far most everything is way over my head. Glad to see there is at least one other artist here. Any others?

I am an artist -- you know, painting, sculpture, photography, computer graphics. My interest in orchids, especially slippers, is their beauty: shape, color, form, variety in unity -- all that artsy stuff. Species Phrags colors boring? Try noting subtle color, markings, shape differences. Different does not equal bizarre. Humbly submitted...

[OGD] World Orchid Society
I have corresponded briefly with both Daryl, and with Tom Roberts, the Editor of their magazine. Like Kenneth, I did a whois on the domain to find Daryl, and then I wrote him. Being moderately cynical when it comes to human institutions, I was curious about what might set the WOS apart from some of the other Orchid institutions, so I e-mailed back and asked why their vision did not address the failures of many of these organizations to TRULY further the best interests of their membership; for me, that was going to be a critical litmus-test for whether I could support a new society, because I was feeling frustrated with other Orchid Instituions right now, that I felt were not responsive to the needs of the membership ... at first, it didn't really seem that they got it ... and I figured it was just another group that wanted to run their own little universe ... but after a couple rounds of e-mails, I think they would like to see it be different. I think the problems with these institutions are rooted in the human condition, I think these folks mean well, but I remain skeptical. I wish them the best of luck though. The virtual end of noblesse oblige in the US, and the aging of the "me" generation is wreaking havoc with social institutions in general. I am sure we all (in the US) have seen a decline in the quality of our local affiliate (orchid) societies in the last ten or twenty years; indeed, many are in danger of evaporation ... people seem unwilling to give back to the community, unless there is something, (usually a LOT) "in it for them." So you often see people with financial or personal (ego) reasons, running local affiliates with their own agenda, regardless of declining membership ... Anybody have a more optimistic view? I would actually like to be wrong here. rob't ___ the OrchidGuide Digest (OGD) orchids@orchidguide.com http://orchidguide.com/mailman/listinfo/orchids_orchidguide.com
