[OGD] Re: Fraud at the WOC in Dijon.

According to this document (it is not clear to me how binding it is) http://www.woctrust.com/Docs/WOCGuide.rtf the site selection rests with the WOC trust. The Site Selection Committee has only an advisory role. See page 4 of the rtf document. This seems to contradict the language in the documen

[OGD] culture and other info for pleuro. minuta or minutalis

Hello everyone, I purchased a plant labeled pleurothallis minuta from Rice's Orchids years ago, and the plant had one flower a few years back. I can't see that it has grown much lately and I don't think it has flowered, so I'm wondering if anybody has any info, cultural or otherwise for this spec

[OGD] Animal Gut and Orchid Seed Germination

I am curious whether anyone on OGD is aware of any literature or report that would indicate that germination of orchid seed, particularly for temperate zone terrestrial species, requires or is facilitated by passage through the gut of an animal. Given what appears to be the general evolutionary st

[OGD] Masd. Imposter

I am having a problem with Masd. Imposter in that the leaves are dropping. They look fine, green and healthy until you get to the "stem" of the leaf and then it turns yellow. I keep it in an orchidarium with the day time temps in the high 70's and nights in the 60's. The humidity goes from 7

Re: [OGD] Fraud Part II

Here is just some info regarding the site selection committee. So if the 11-5 vote, consisting of the 16 members did not result anywhere close to a tie, why did the trustees derail the selection? Obviously there must have been some amazingly overwhelming reason for them to meet in secret, and stro

[OGD] RE: Zyklon B

Hi list, Background information: I'm from The Netherlands and we suffered a lot from the nazi's. The meaning and translation into English of the German word Zyklon is Cyclone (strong winds). The meaning and sensitivity of the term Zyklon B is very much different from meaning of the bare word Zy

Re: [OGD] Fraud at the WOC in Dijon.

I would like a greater background on who these people are. To me, a blissfully ignorant outsider of the AOS/WOC, I can not put any info with these names other than a dull dislike of them. Andy, we know you have lots of info. Would you please give these people a nice shove into the lime light?

Andy Easton (OGD V7 #123) has done it again my bullshit detector is ringing. Let's do a quick check of the facts. "Seems like the minor British royals can parade around with swastika armbands but the more literate OGD members are to be chided for using a common literary term." It was one Bri

[OGD] Oops

Wouldn't you know. It's Mystik Golden Leopard and everybody is spelling it wrong. Easy to spot in Wildcatt. If you are looking in the RHS site, you have to give a wild guess as to what to omit to find it. Remind me to always look in both. Iris ___ the Orc

Hi Folks, I have a plant which is called Brachiada X Ada. I can find no information about this name nor can I find it amongst a list of species or hybrids. Does anyone know anything about this particular cross? It is quite possible that it was incorrectly spelt or written originally. Thanks Max R
