Off topic again, hope y'all don't mind. - The Aztecs absorbed the active
components of their ethnobotanicals by enema in many cases because of their
rapid breakdown by digestive enzymes. In some cases, as with Salvinorin,
stomach enzymes completely inactivate the compound and it is actually abs
Wolfgang says he's seen leaves of P. gigantea larger than those
quoted. A couple more references:
1) "Daun besar, berukuran 50-75 cm panjangyna dan lebarnya 20-25 cm".
From: "Koleksi Anggrek Kebun Raya Bogor, Vol 1 #2, 1999". You don't
need to speak Bahasa Indonesia to work out what it says.

Good old Hoffman. What a trooper! It is very interesting reading to learn of
his exploits (in the service of science) at Huautla (pronounced WOW-tla) in
Oaxaca. A true botanical pioneer.

I have repeatedly tried to get off this forum. Mistakenly, I thought I was
joining an orchid forum but I found out it was a political arena. How sad! If
anyone could help me get off this, I would truly appreciate it!

Maybe we should start an amazingly comprehensive FAQ for the new
growers. Or, and this is something that will be available really soon, they
can use the search engine I'm developing to research all known articles

The apparent primary pollinators of angraecoids seem to be hawk moths,
family Sphingidae. Available evidence suggests that those hawk moths
that feed, and pollinate, stereotypically receive the pollinaria on the
compound eyes or the base of the proboscis.
An interesting read on this matter is
Of course. The ebb and flow of ideas is wonderful. But of late, it seems
that some of the folks have forgotten that there are lots of orchid growers
out there who have less knowledge, less experience, and may be less worldly
than some of the other folks who submit posts here. Perhaps the article
Actually, I kind of enjoy the intellectual beatings here, and apparently
of the other egos here do too. But you're right. Maybe we should take it
elsewhere. And soon, there will be another place for it, hold your breath.

And that has what??? to do with orchids? We all come from different
countries, different religions, different upbringings. Can we please share
and enjoy what we have in common -- orchids -- instead of beating each other
up on topics that we know will cause disagreements?

Can anyone point me to a reference that indicates where exactly the pollinia of

head?
Thanks.
