Tim, It should be a top notch talk. Rusty

mine bloomed last year.

Make sure when you reserve your room that you request one with heat. They gave me a room with no heat and the space heater kept tripping the circuit breaker. After a lot of complaining they finally found another room. When I checked out the poor girl at the desk asked how I enjoyed my stay, and...

Another reason for not being a member of the AOS.

Nice plants.

Bolero, I already get Orchid Digest. I am not renewing and joining the Cymbidium Society of America instead. The deciding factor was how the AOS treated Howard Bronstein a few years ago.

My AOS membership is up for renewal in a few months. Last night I looked at a recent copy of Orchids. It was mostly ads. I am really having a hard time thinking of any reasons to be a member of the AOS. Any thoughts? Rusty

My copy arrived today. looks pretty interesting.

Pretty depressing video about Borneo. http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/living/2008/11/18/pip.borneo.cnn

Still waiting for the name of the taxonomist who backs Mr. Koch.

Rick, Your penn name should be Stephen Dedalus.

Candice, sorry to confuse you. Who is the judge and the taxonomist? Simple straight forward question. Rusty

If the judge has "evidence" and the backing of a taxonomist I believe he has the duty to present his paper/findings to other judges. By not presenting their findings (and the basis for them) the judge and taxonomist are undermining the judging system. I find it difficult to believe that a person...

Rick, when you get a copy of the judge's paper i would be interested in getting a copy. Is the paper going to be peered reviewed? Is the judge a taxonomist? Rusty

I believe this is the seventh FCC for Hadley. He also got the AOS award [cant recall name] for best paph a few years ago. Rusty

Nick is a one of the nicest people I have ever met. He has lots of plants not listed on his web site. I sent him a few hundred dollars a few years ago for an assortment of bracys, and told him to pick the plants. Almost all were in bud. One of my best purchases. Rusty

Eric, I saw Frank Smith speak a few years ago and it was worth the two hour drive.

Rick, I was not commenting on the man FS, but the "facts" attributed to him in your original posting. My mirror is different than others on the forum and I accept that. In the words of D. A. F. de Sade The mirror sees the man as beautiful, the mirror loves the man; another mirror sees the...

Bob, I really like the design and paint. Have you had it out on the Northway yet? It is a very fine ride. Rusty

Rick, I think your post is misleading. It states: "In that time Krull-Smith has become the leading orchid hybridizer in the world for award-quality show plants, having received over 700 quality and cultural awards from the American Orchid Society." Did K-S hybridizer all 700 awarded plants...
