Thank you Brian O'Brien.
I like this story. I want to hear more about this sort of thing.
Does anyone else have more stories of how they were introduced
to orchids? Seeing a roth for the first time sounds profound; I imagine
it had the effect of making other flowers pale in comparison.
I know
This is for Steve Topletz:
Steve,
Thank you for asking. I love to share this story whenever I do an Orchid
Presentation, and every time, it brings me back to the beginning as I
see its affect on the Orchid Novices I am teaching...
It was about 10 years ago. My husband and I had just signed with
Thanks for the update on the scanning project and for clearing many of the
issues raised by some people with axes to grind.
It is refreshing to see facts , not bias posited.

Viateur,
Joe and Helga Gray have been more than generous with their time and expertise and the orchid world is deeply in their debt. Can you imagine life without Wildcatt? Imagine having to stumble through the RHS website every time you needed to check a parentage!

To Joe and Helga Gray, the AOS, Wildcatt Database Co., and other
involved in the digitization of Orchids Magazine:
I appreciate the time and commitment that you are doing to see this
project through. The digitization of the Bulletin and Orchids is a big
undertaking, but will be a great service
Hi Marianne
I would recomend adding more air movement to the location you are
growing your xeriphyticum. The rust sounds bad. Keep an eye on it and
continue with the fungicide/bactricide program. About the black spots I

I will not dwell on politics here.but Peter O'Byrne is one of the most
knowledgeable people on this list in regard to southeast

Hello Everyone,
I am looking for images of Paphiopedilum in situ. People have seen
the plants in cultivation, and there are so many out there. What there
are not enough of are pictures of how the plants grow and exist in
nature. From the pictures I have seen in many of the genus books, the

I'd like a head start on researching the genus Grammatophyllum.
Certainly, their is a fair amount of information about Gram. scriptum
and Gram. speciosum, but I suppose I'll have to hit the books for
anything beyond that.
If anyone can point me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it.
Andy,
Most Australians, indeed the ones that I know, have a great sense of
humour. It may be described as weird by those that don't know us but
that's they way we are fairly laid back. Any way you'd have to have a
sense of humour from all the crap I seen, apart from the actual orchid
information,
Steve,
If you already haven't done so, look through Guido Braem's vol.1 2
books. I know there were some in situ. Also check his latest book on
the genus Paphiopedilum. To find it, just type in google: Guido Braem
Paphiopedilum. Furthermore, you might be able to contact him (Guido
