[OGD] Ants (Bernard Gerrard)

I live in another ant capital, South Florida. I have moved almost all my orchids outside under trees and an arbor over the last two years. Ants are a big part of what goes on with the orchids as part of a mini-eco system, and I have several different kinds, thankfully not too many red ants. The

[OGD] Miltoniopsis in Florida

William [Hill] wrote :"in Florida... Miltoniopsis... when summer comes they die" Not all miltoniopsis are cold growing. Have you tried Miltoniopsis roezlii or hybrids made with that species ? See the most informative culture sheet written by the Bakers (Margaret and Charles) : http://www.orc

[OGD] Miltonias Vs Miltoniopsis

Hi All, I have put two new pages on my website: "Unique" and "Miltonias". Most folks in Florida cringe when they hear Miltonia because of the many vendors who bring in Miltoniopsis and sell them as Miltonias-- then when summer comes they die & the people think they were Miltonias so they don

Dear Bert, Dear Andy, I have the solution we form a Junta for Miami ... Andy can be President, you can take care of the Judging and I will take care of the scientific program ... Lets see who is going to object. And about the begonias   If you go to Lochristi ... it is the most impor

Re: [OGD] OGD V7 #292: Molecular Taxonomy

That's correct Bert and I agree with you. Let's split them form Laelia.   But then, should we place them all as descendents of some common great grandparent and put the whole family to live together in a large phalanstery and call the whole family Sophronitis regardless whose  they are childr

[OGD] Myrmecophila christinae

Having just posted a question on ants, this leads to another question. I have a plant that I think might be Myrmecophila christinae, however I do not have solid references to this species other than the article on ant/orchid relationships in the August 2004 issue of Orchids. (Something subs

[OGD] Ants

I live in the Ant Capital of the mid-Atlantic States. Others may also claim the honor. They make their nests in my potted plants, winter and summer, greenhouse and outdoors. They have a particular affinity to orchid media. Is their presence harmful to the plants or just an annoyance to me?
