[OGD] RE: AOS this n' That

I had been advised to stay out of the AOS Proxy fight because I'm up for probationary at Denver's meeting. Since I have spent 3 years of my life pursuing AOS judgeship I'm taking that advice. Nevertheless I have a few questions. 1) In researching a different orchid topic I came across an edito

[OGD] Leeches

Even in Australia, leeches are part and parcel of a rainforest walk. And in Sabah, if you went into the water, there are probably Schistosomes about. Catch that particular parasite and you'll think that you are turning water into red wine. Cordially, Phil ###

[OGD] Phalaenopsis

Hi All. Question on growing Phalaenopsis, species and hybrids. Some professional nursery in Australia grow with spagnum moss and a fair amount of heating in their nurserys. Grow very well "but" suffer when taken into a hobby growers orchid house were the heat is not supplied in such amount. Other p

[OGD] horse manure as the growing medium of choice

I am the pround owner of a two volume set of books, inherited from my orchid growing mother, that is entitled "A Manual of Orchidaceous Plants Cultivated Under Glass in Great Britian". Although the books were published in 1963, they are actually the notes and dairies of James Veitch, of the Royal

[OGD] Fun in Borneo

After reading Into the Heart of Borneo by Redmond OHanlan, I am convinced that the leeches might be rather on the benign side of Borneo's diverse opportunities for natural encounters! While not mentioning orchids specifically, the descriptions of habitat are fascinating. I highly recommend i

[OGD] Wood for mounting

Manzanita wood is great for mounting orchids; the roots adhere quickly and proliferate almost immediately. The smooth surface works well. Marilyn Stark ___ the OrchidGuide Digest (OGD) [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.orchidguide.com/mailman/listinfo/orch

[OGD] re: mounting wood

I have used shed cottonwood bark and haven't had any great successes... on the other hand, a vendor at a show recommended cedar (bark on) and sassafras. I have tried the cedar and the oncidium roots really seem to enjoy growing under the little pieces of shaggy bark (more plants in the testing

[OGD] Can anyone tell me what this is?

Hi all, I've been reading for sometime, and an impressed with the knowledge I've seen here. I've only been growing for just over a year, so most of what you guys say just whizes over my head :) I have something I hope someone can help me with. I have a milt that I mailordered in May and has ne

As I have stated...I have plenty of reason to believe that the currant slate is adequate for the job ahead..I (as previouly stated) visited with all at headquarters and cannot believe that there is such a hue and cry to demolish things as they have stood for all these years (good and bad) They

[OGD] Re: Wood for mounting

I grow a lot of my plants mounted and have had success with quite a few things. Cork oak bark is a standard that I have used successfully for years. I also use tree fern fiber for things that I want to stay a little wetter, but I only use the hard, open fiber kind that comes from Central America,

[OGD] Miltonia xanthina & Pescatorea fimbriata

Hi everybody, thanks for helping me out with Miltonia regnellii var Xanthina, I can write the right name on my tag now. But how about the Pescatorea fimbriata, another plant that puzzles me, beacuse his name is nowhere registred. You can find a beautiful picture on the site of David Jubineau.

Hello all, Can anybody tell me something more about the following magazine: "Orchid Lore" published by the Houston Orchid Society ? I had a look at the webpage of the Houston Orchid Society, but their magazine is now called Houston Happenings (at least since 1970). How long did "Orchid Lore"

[OGD] Leeches, an apology and fresh advice

Gee Charles, your response to my 'leeches in Sabah' posting was just dripping with sarcasm. What have I ever done to deserve such cavalier treatment ? Think about it for a moment my posting was totally consistent with my well-known conservationist stance. After all, the fewer humans who go tra

Mr. Ginsberg, 2003 was not an Executive election year so in the off year positions do not normally change.

Maujean, What you did here, publishing a private communication on a list, is a gross faux-pas. I suggest that after having posted the two nice messager in this digest you gently crawl back under the stone. The disruptive after-kicking of an opponent divulges more of your character than you are will
