[OGD] Catasetums?

Hello Rocky, Regarding your question on the roots of catasetums. I think that this is natures way of ensuring that the plants get all the nourishment that they require when growing on trees etc. Whereas when they are growing in pots, they receive all the food and water from their grower. I have s

[OGD] Flasking question.

Hi Folks, For all of you people who do flasking and or even dabble in flasking I have a question. Have you used or heard of anyone using colloidal silver as a means of reducing contamination in the flasks. Colloidal silver is reputedly very good at preventing bacterial contamination but I do no

[OGD] Sobralia seed.

Hi Folks, I am looking for a source of Sobralia seed. Out here in Australia there are very few people who grow them and consequently it is difficult to obtain seed. I have tried e-mailing several people in South America but have never even received an answer. As I am particularly keen on them I

[OGD] Missing digest?

Hi folks, I seem to have missed digest no 37. The only one I have missed in several years and I am wondering if perhaps there was a problem. I sent an e-mail to the webmaster but I think it may have gone astray. Any help welcome. Thanks Max Redman -- No virus found in this outgoing message

[OGD] Sphagnum Moss

Hi all, I use sphagnum moss in a large number of pots and many different types. However the main reason why the moss goes slimy is the use of chemical fertilizer. I only use organic fertilizer and have no problems. A number of people that I know who use chemical fertilizer are not able to grow i

[OGD] Bc Ruby 'Rosette'

Charlie asked about Ruby Rosette which he could not find listed. Perhaps it is Bc Ruby with a varietal name of 'Rosette" This is a very old crossing being done in 1918 I think. Max. -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus. Version: 7.0.308 / Virus Database: 266.11.

Hi Folks, Thanks to those who responded to my query about Brachiada x Ada. I am now sure that it should be 'Brassia brachiata x Ada aurantiaca.' Somewhere along the way the Brassia has been left off and the brachiata has been mispelled. Thanks again Max. -- No virus found in this outgoing mes

[OGD] Question

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

[OGD] Zygos.

It seems to me that there is a lot of talk about problems with Zygos. This of course may be caused partially by where you live or perhaps more importantly, where you grow them. Zygos require a cool temperature and will take the cold down to zero degrees. I grow quite a few and they are grown under
