[OGD] Quicktime

Thanks for the help Steve, Colin & Keith. Quicktime is now running and iTunes is nowhere to be seen. Chong-Yee, your photos are interesting, and certainly easier on the eye than the system in use 25 years ago, which required matched right & left slides to be viewed simultaneously. Is there anyway o

[OGD] orchid pollination by aggressive insects?

I'm sure everyone is familiar with orchids that are insect mimics and are pollinated by pseudocopulation. I vaguely remember some brief discussion of similar orchids that induce aggressive territorial responses in the insect pollinators. My vague recollection was that Hispaniella henekenii mi

I am sorry, indeed, to see this excellent catt. breeder go out of business. But are rising Calif. land prices the reason (indeed, are they even rising much at the moment)? Prop 13 protected people like this from rising taxes based on huge increases of land value (indeed gave them an advantage

[OGD] "Warmth-tolerant" pendulous/cascading cymbidiums

Howdy. In many areas other than California, cymbidiums grow very well, but rarely if ever re-bloom due to high nighttime temps in the late summer and early fall.I have been told that many pendulous cymbidiums, however, will initate blooms under such conditions.  Would any of you who have info

[OGD] Warm growing cymbidiums.

Title: Warm growing cymbidiums. Dan, there are many pendulous and regular cymbidiums that will grow and bloom happily almost anywhere in the United States. I know because we got three Homestead-grown cymbidiums awarded by the AOS last year. But you have to be careful where you source them. Mo

For the record, the Fordyces are going through some changes, but I have talked with Sue recently, and she assured me that they are keeping their website up, and the last I heard, the plan was for Frank to maintain a small collection of his breeding stock, and continue to make hybrids. The las

Hi, Dan. I live in Indianapolis, Indiana, and have had great success with Cymbidium Fifi Harry. One of this hybrid's parents is Cymbidium madidum, which (from what I've read) is heat tolerant in its native Australia. If you're not familiar with Fifi Harry, I can assure you that it's both a beaut

Thanks to all who responded to my plea for suggestions on eradicating bush snails.  An astonishing variety of solutions were offered, all undoubtedly practical and effective under certain conditions.  Somewhere in there I will find a solution to my problem.  Thanks again.   Giles Smith Santa
