[OGD] genus Zz
Dear Dr. Braem, in the gorgeous book "Orchid hunting in the Lost World" a series of articles by the late G.C.K. Dunsterville are presented. In one of his articles (Äa, Aha, Aha ha - and What Next" from the AOS Bulletin from january 1983) mr. Dunsterville mentiones a wasp described by Reichenbach called "Zyzzyx". Could this be the wasp you mean? Kind regards, Bert van Zuylen The Netherlands Subject: [OGD] Aa By the way, there is also a genus "Zz" if my memory doesn't fool me I mean to remember that it represents some kind of bee. regardsGuido ___ the OrchidGuide Digest (OGD) orchids@orchidguide.com http://orchidguide.com/mailman/listinfo/orchids_orchidguide.com
[OGD] wrong url to unknown orchid
Hello OGDers, sorry for the wrong url, this one should work: http://community.webshots.com/album/332582570bGusdk Can anyone please tell me which orchid this could be? I allready would be happy if someone could give me the name of the genus. Last weekend I got this orchid from a friend who told me the orchid is native to Vietnam. So I went through (a lot) of my books to find out more about it. I know I know the name, the problem is I don't know it right now, must be the age. The greenleaves are flushed with purpleand the inflorenceis purple as well. The inflorence starts from the bulb, not from the top nor from the base but somewhere in between. The flowers have not opened yet, but it seems to me they will be yellow with purple. Many thanks in advance, Bert van Zuylen The Netherlands ___ the OrchidGuide Digest (OGD) orchids@orchidguide.com http://orchidguide.com/mailman/listinfo/orchids_orchidguide.com
[OGD] Plocoglottis
Hello OGDers, thank you very much for all the information about my unkown orchid. I've only just could get behind our computer again (my son occupied it for some time) and I haven't been able to search for information in my books. But I allready found an article in Die Orchidee (D.O.G.) 1990 about a Plocoglottis. And that's where I found the pictures I knew I'd seen before! Tomorrow I have plenty of time to find more info about my no longer unkown orchid. Once again: thank you very much. Kind regards from The NetherlandsBert van Zuylen ___ the OrchidGuide Digest (OGD) orchids@orchidguide.com http://orchidguide.com/mailman/listinfo/orchids_orchidguide.com
[OGD] webshots
Hello OGDers, here's another cry for help from The Netherlands, and once more it's about books. Friends of mine presented me some books they bought during their holidays in Thailand, Russia, Japan and China. Beautifull books about orchids. The problem is that I can't read any Thai, Russian, Japanese or Chinese. But I really would like to know who wrote these books and what their titles are. There's also a small booklet about Hawaiian orchids and a Dutch book about Pleurothallis in my collection about which I can't find any data. Could you please help me with some more information about these books? You can find pictures of the books and all the information I have on: http://community.webshots.com/album/316034267mfRbcW Kind regards and many thanks in advance, Bert van Zuylen The Netherlands Where Listera ovata and Dactylorhiza maculata are showing their first leaves ___ the OrchidGuide Digest (OGD) orchids@orchidguide.com http://orchidguide.com/mailman/listinfo/orchids_orchidguide.com
[OGD] Emilie Vouga
Dear OGDers, in Issue 154 mr. Peter O'Byrne placed the readers of the OGD in several groups. Well, I'm in group H because I collect orchid literature. That is not on a professional scale but just for fun. Some time ago I managed to buy a gorgeous set of plates, complete with the protective cover. It's a set of 6 large plates depicting tropical orchids including 2 Stanhopeas. The set is called: Les orchidees 1 Serie 6 plances. The paintings are made by Emilie Vouga from Switzerland. There is no date to be found on the cover nor the plates. Is there anyone who can give me some information about the artist. I allready know that the set is really rare. This is what I allraedy know about Emilie Vouga. (Mr. Rudolf Jenny kindly supplied the information.) Emilie Vouga (born Prades), Vevey, Switzerland 1840 - 1909, artist and founder of the publishing company VOUGA. She published her drawings as: Flora Alpina, Geneva Fleurs des Hautes Alpes, Geneva Le champs et les bois, Geneva Orchidees des Hautes-Alpes, Basel (1883) Anything you can tell me about this artist or about her drawings would be very welcome. Kind regards from The Netherlands (where it is raining again!) Bert van Zuylen ___ the OrchidGuide Digest (OGD) orchids@orchidguide.com http://orchidguide.com/mailman/listinfo/orchids_orchidguide.com
[OGD] Lighbinders Orchids of the tropical world
What error do you get? Bert Hello to all of you, Bert last week we bought a new(er) computer and it runs on Windows XP. Bert But now I can't install my Lighbinders Orchids of the tropical world Bert cd-rom anymore. Does anybody have the same problem, and do you know how I Bert can solve this problem? Hello Steve, the error I get is like this : There is a mistake in your option. SHADOW caused a general protection failure in module ~TMP1823.EXE on 0002:058F. I got a mail from Nancy who suggested to: go to the 'start' menu, and expand the list of 'programs'... One of the first ones will be 'Accessories' - if you expand this list, you will hopefully find one called 'Program Compatibility Wizard'. When you open this program, you'll be able to designate that your Orchids CD-ROM run as if it were running on Win98 (95, ME, whatever). (Thanks Nancy) But I still got the same error.

[OGD] new orchid encyclopedia
Hello ODGers, I would like to introduce a new orchid encyclopedia. The complete encyclopedia of orchids was compiled by Zdenek Jezek from the Czech Republik. It was issued by Rebo International from Lisse in The Netherlands. Originally it was written in Czech, but there are also English and Dutch issues. It's a hardcover book with 304 pages and some 680 pictures in color. It gives an introduction to orchids in the first 30 pages, deals with tropical orchids from page 32 up to 261 and deals with terrestrials from page 262 up to 298. The pictures are often a bit pale, but the flowers can be recognized easily. I do not know how the English translation is, but in the Dutch version are some rather odd mistakes. But best of all: the price. I've bought the Dutch version for only 10 euro. A friend of mine brought me the Czech version when he returned from a holiday over there, and I had to pay only 12 euros for this book. The German version is offered for 15 euros by several bookstores. If you would like to order the English version, please contact: Bookmart PREMIER DRUM SITE BLABY ROAD LE18 4SE WIGSTON, LEICESTER UK Tel: 0044 116 275 9060 I do not know if the book is available in the USA, Canada, Australia or New Zealand. If not please feel free to contact me off-group and I ask Rebo if I can order it for you. No extra charges, you pay what I have to pay!!
