Re: [OGD] Re: Typos

Hello Mr. Baker, I am a user of your culture on demand service, which I am very thankful for. Taking a look through for some of my new plants today, I found that (unless my eyes need checking) you have a curious lack of phragmipediums on your site: not even one. Am I just not seeing them, or are

[OGD] TSP and Spellcheck

While searching for an article in my pile of reprints, I recently stumbled upon the original 1967 article by HH Thornberry advocating TSP as a viricide. It is apparent that his background as a Plant Pathologist did not serve him well as a Chemical or Biochemical expert. He shows no awarene

Just dropping in my limited experience with antibiotics on orchids. I have found Agristrep (impure streptomycin) effective and non-phytotoxic on phrags to control basal rot. This is a rot that appears (at least in South Carolina) during the hot summer months, begins at the base of the outer lea

Dear Viateur and all, Bateman was not the first to publish the name of Cattleya quadricolor (Gard. Chron. 1864: 269 [1864]). Some fourteen years earlier, Lindley published his concept of Cattleya quadricolor Lindl. in Paxton's Flower Garden 1: 6 (1850). However, both are to be considered synonym

Hello Everyone, Thank you for your response to my Mesurol dosing question. However, it seems as if you are using a white powder on your plants to be dilluted in water. What I got was from the drug company Bayer for garden use on edible plants (strawberries, salads, etc), and came in a dark blue
