[OGD] World Land Trust Sponsor Uses Orchids
Here's an interesting article from the World Land Trust bulletin: Hire an Orchid AND Save a Rainforest The new Driftwood Orchid Display. Try it for free for a month and Enterprise Plants will donate £50 to the WLT. Brighten up your office with orchids from WLT Sponsor. WLT Sponsors Enterprise Plants have been supplying Rainforest Orchid displays, using nursery propagated orchids, to clients for the past two years and these planters currently enhance over a hundred reception areas and boardrooms. As part of their sponsorhip commitments to the WLT Enterprise Plants offer one month's free supply and maintenance of the display and donate £25 per planter to the Trust. Clients receive a personalised WLT certificate stating that One Acre of rainforest has been saved on their behalf, and if the planter is not required after the trial period Enterprise Plants will take it away. Because of the success of the Rainforest displays Enterprise Plants have designed a new, eye-catching planter, again to raise funds for WLT. The Driftwood Orchid Display contains a unique New Zealand driftwood sculpture from the shores of South Island, a selection of architectural air plants and beautiful miniature orchids. The display measures 50cm x 1m high and is arranged in a spun aluminium 'wok' bowl. Again, they are offering one month's free trial for which they will donate £50 per new planter to WLT. If you work for someone with a boring reception area or a boardroom needing inspiration, try out one of the planters and help raise funds for tropical forests at the same time.

However, it is very tiresome to have to work around his obvious dislike for the world and all the people in it" This, my dear Icones, shows how little you know of me and how biased you are about me. As for Kew, I have no dislike for the place. I have never said that the weight of the decision of Kew botanists is not as important as those of others. Again, you put words in my mouth. As for Phil Cribb, I have no dislike for the man. I only have dislike for his actions. As for Seidenfaden, he was a great man. For Kr?nzlin, well, Kr?nzlin was the student of Reichenbach fil. and we know that the latter was not such a great botanist as may be deduced from his "reputation". I is indeed frustrating and tiring to discuss this with someone who simply does not want to understand plain English. It correlates with you fear of putting your name to your messages.

Re: [OGD] Bert Pressman
I was very saddened to hear of Bert Pressman's passing. He was a member of OrchidSafari and he used to pass along a lot of orchid information during our chats. I understand, in addition to his work with the Coalition for Orchid Species, he used to line up speakers for the Redland show.
