Barbara, once again do your homework before you raise doubt about Glen's honesty. What you are doing is mixing up CJM's excellent hybrids with those of the competition Jerry Fischer, excellent Phragmipedium grower, (note!!! Vendor for the competition, )here is what he said in a recent post on another forum: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- >I need to make a correction. In an earlier post I stated that Glen Decker from >Piping Rock Orchids brought flasks of kovachii and >kovachii hybrids into the U.S. in March of 06. That is incorrect. >They were brought in the month of Dec. 05 so it is quite possible >to have hybrid plants in bud at this time. >My apologies to Glen and members of Slippertalk. >Sincerely, Jerry Lee Fischer
