[OGD] Phragmipedium kovachii
I'm using Bob Wellenstein's advice for Paph compots (on his web page ladyslipper.com) for growing a Phragmipedium kovachii compot. I've put the undisturbed compot complete with agar in a plastic pot and in-filled with small bark (about 1/4 inch). As the agar melts away I infill with more small bark. They get misted 3x a day for a few minutes. Any water that makes it through the compot/bark medium or comes from the misters gets trapped in a very shallow tray. They get MSU fertilizer diluted to about 1/4 tsp/gal and city water. Mine are in intermediate to cool temps Maybe I should move mine. I figured if they were from high elevation in nature they'd be a cooler grower. (?) But they seem to be growing and haven't lost any yet. (Jinx!) Any advice is welcome. Who's Alfredo Manrique? I got my compot at a farmer's market in Oakland. I paid $29.95 plus tax, which ticked me off because none of the other stalls charged tax on their produce... so what's up with that?

Re: [OGD] mildew on Catasetinae
Terry, I have never tried this on Catasetinae, but have used on other orchids. You might try sun oil. It seams to put a protective coating on the leaves. It has worked for similar problems on orchids. Candy - Original Message - From: "Terry A.

[OGD] Alfredo Manrique
The question was asked, "Who is Alfredo Manrique?" Alfredo Manrique is the owner operator of Centro de Jardineria Manrique in Lima Peru. Alfredo is a very knowledgeable and most honest propagator / vendor of Phragmipedium kovachii and was the first Peruvian chosen by INRENA to collect five legal mature Phragmipedium kovachii plants from a designated habitat for the purpose of artificially propagating this magnificent species in his nursery and laboratory. Alfredo was issued INRENA license 001. Phragmipedium kovachii seedlings propagated at CJM nurseries are legally exported from Peru with permits supplied by INRENA (The Peruvian Department of Natural Resources and CITES auhtority.) In the USA the distributor of these legal CJM Phragmipedium kovachii seedlings is Glen Decker. In Canada the distributor is Peter Croezen. Both Glen and Peter issue legal Pk certificates with every Phragmipedium kovachii seedling order. Glen and Peter send INRENA a list of all legal certificates issued. If customers decide to sell their legal Phragmipedium kovachii seedlings within North America, it would be prudent for them to supply each purchaser with a photocopy of their own legal certificate, write the name of purchaser and number of seedlings purchased on that photocopy and and sign it. This way the new owners have proof that their Phragmipedium kovachii was obtained legally, just in case some authorty should question it. Phragmipedium kovachii seedlings purchased without a legal certificate are likely illegal, propagated from mature plants smuggled into North America. Mature Phragmipedium kovachii plants, no matter in which country they are purchased, are Illegal plants, for to date Peru's INRENA has not issued a single export document for mature Phragmipedium kovachii plants. Phragmipedium kovachii mature plants purchased either inside, or outside Peru, are illegal plants for which no legal export permit can be obtained. peter ___ the OrchidGuide Digest (OGD) orchids@orchidguide.com http://orchidguide.com/mailman/listinfo/orchids_orchidguide.com
