[OGD] Unknown Pleurothasllid
Dear OGD's Patricia Harding sent me these photos of a Pleurothallis that she has with no tag. It is a pretty and different specimen and I would like to add it to IOSPE but I am not even sure that it is a Pleurothallis. Maybe a Teaguia or Jostia, but there is not a lot of reference materials available to me about these two genera. Anyway if you go to the following link http://www.orchidspecies.com/pleurpat.htm you can see the photos. Anyone out there have an idea of what we may have here? On another note IOSPE just keeps getting bigger, I have compiled 5649 species in 594 genera and will surpass 6000 speciies with photos this year. Come on over and browse!

[OGD] Cymbidium canaliculatum green-cap time
A friend has asked me to sow some Cymbidium canaliculatum capsules for him, and I wonder if anybody could recommend a point in time to harvest them for green-capping?

[OGD] Judging 'illegal' orchids
We asked the AOS office how this would be handled and here is Aileen's reply. ''I believe I have your answer. Any of these flasks that enter the US legally come in with CITES from the country of origin. Each of the seedlings sold should have a copy of such CITES documentation. Without that, we don't judge them. The same is true of the legal seedlings of Paph. vietnamense from Antec Labs. The owners of these plants should keep copies of the documentation that proves they are legal" Hopes this helps for the future, keep that paperwork!!!
