Re: [OGD] WOC Proceedings

I had put in an inquiry to the WOC offices on behalf of a number of the members of my local orchid society here in Florida.  We wanted to know whether we could make a group order for the Proceedings and what quantity would afford us a price break.  The lady I spoke to advised me that she would p

[OGD] WOC and Flamingos

Dear K Barret and OGD's I was at the WOC all week and asked R Fuchs and the birds' owner about the flamingos which were very much alive. I saw them brought in each morning at 9am by their owner. They said that the flamingoes were raised as chicks living on grass and that they would not step off
