[OGD] Thanks
Great discussions! Should I be worried if my Renanthera monachica is getting reddish? It's not spots or the like, more like a flush over the whole plant. I think it might just be 'tanning', but I have no prior experience with this genus. One leaf, in the middle of the plant, is looking sickly. The entire plant is, at most, four inches tall - a seedling. I also checked the roots - they look gray, but firm, with no new growth. I've had it for about six weeks or so. It is potted in a 3 inch plastic pot with large chunks of bark and four extra holes (half inch) drilled into the pot side. The plant came to me in a peat/bark mix. I also have some osmunda fiber if it would work better. I'm a little nervous about not using any media - I grow on an east facing windowsill (morning sun) and water it when dry. The relative humidity is about 40 percent. Thanks! Bob Campoli - Philadelphia, Pa USA "There will be no Mutant Enemies, we shall certify. Political Ends as sad remains will die."

Title: Thanks, Martin. I think the one comment you make about paying taxes needs comment. Apparently the Taiwanese orchid growers are classified as farmers and do not have to pay any income taxes! That would appear to give them somewhat of an unfair advantage over their counterparts around the world.

[OGD] Thanks for the help/Paph question
Hello Everyone! Thanks to Stephen Kemp and Eric Hunt for their help regarding Dendrobium forbesii, and Dan S. with Aeranthes grandiflora. My question concerns Paph. delanatii. I've had this plant for about a year and a half. It has no new roots and the old ones are black and wiry. It was in a bark/perlite mix. The new leaves are getting progressively smaller. As far as I know that means the roots are dead. I've just repotted it into long fibered sphagnum moss. It's under medium shade, intermediate temperature. Any other suggestions?? Thanks in advance.

[OGD] thanks and bulbo guttulatum
Hello everyone, First, thanks all for the help with the lindenii hybrid search. If anyone has pics for any of the other primary hybrids I listed before I would be in your debt. On another totally different note, I have a Bulbophyllum (Cirrhopetalum?) guttulatum that has only one pseudobulb left. It has had one only for about two years, and whenever it starts to put out a new growth or shoot, it turns black and dies off. I originally rescued it from a collection of plants from a former orchid nursery owner, and it had maybe three pseudobulbs at that time. I think the one now is actually a new growth that survived, and the back one died off after that. I have it in a somewhat warm spot, not too bright. I have read very little info on the web, and of course one page says cool, another says easy growing at intermediate, and another says warm. hmph If anyone has good cultural info for this species I would appreciate it very much, especially since it looks like it has two more growths of some kind ready to emerge. I would be very happy to have this survive and thrive of course, as it has sentimental value and I like the flowers quite a bit. It is currently in a 2-1/4 inch pot with some probably old fine fir bark. I have mounts of soft and hard tree-fern if anyone thinks that would be more appropriate, and can put it in a cooler or intermediate/warm spot as needed. If anyone really thinks it needs some fungicide I could take it to work when one of the guys will be drenching something and have them splash it. I sort of have the same problem with a bunch of my trichopilias (new growths often blacken). thanks again for your help, charles -- Charles Ufford Calen the Border Collie CGC - now in Heaven Oriskany, NY USA IPA, Central NY and Southern Tier Orchid Societies [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.paphiopedilum.net Http://www.geocities.com/charlesufford ___ the OrchidGuide Digest (OGD) orchids@orchidguide.com http://orchidguide.com/mailman/listinfo/orchids_orchidguide.com
[OGD] Thanks to Viateur for Reference List
Title: Thanks to Viateur for Reference List By the way, thanks to Viateur for his welcome contribution of the list of references on “Uses of Orchids” (foods, medicines, etc.) as item #2 in the Feb. 18 (Vol. 7, Issue 86) OGD release. It seems to be a classic case of going from famine to feast (pun intended). One person cannot track down everything by oneself to be sure, but working together, and cooperating is the way science works, and this kind of guidance is much appreciated. No reason the OGD should not gain through the same mechanism. I encourage all who know their sources and can remember them, to make them known to the rest of us when possible. Cheers!

Re: [OGD] Thanks for Orchid Pod Maturation Sources
Sue, My method for monitoring seed pods is to watch them for color changes, When the pod starts to turn yellow its time to harvest. Then put the pod somewhere cool and dry (air-conditioned homes meet the criteria) to finish ripening and shed its seeds. You can hang it in a jar with a piece of filter paper over the top to reduce the infiltration of dust and dirt and also cut down on seed being blown by the air circulation in the house.A Mason jar works well, you can even screw the ring on to hold the filter paper. Keeping the pod suspended improves drying and reduces the chance for rot.

[OGD] Thanks simon re dactylorhiza
Dear Simon, Thanks for the excellent and informative article on my question as to what Dactylorhiza I may have seen in the Orkneys. European terrestrials are my weakest link, I do not have a single specicialty book about Europe and it's orchids. I was quite amazed by how many I did see in such a short time [I was only in the Orkneys for 4 hours and I saw 4 out of five species that were there according to the guide on the bus. He did have an Orkneys Fauna and Flora book with each one's scientific name and D maculata, D incarnata and D majalis were in it [to the best of my memory] as well as a D. something var something. I should have written it down, stupid me, thought I would remember, yeah right. There was also another genus with the common name of green frog orchid but this one I did not see. A great place to visiti if you can do without trees.. I also saw the 2 habenaria like species in Southern France with only 1/2 hour to look. Simon thanks again on the lesson in Dactylorhiza.
