I have a small collection of plants packed in a tight space. I am also deeply sentimentally attached to it. So when I see a threat, I tend to go flamethrower immediately. In this case, I'm going to start with chemical warfare, wait a while, and then use lettuce or carrots to see if the...

Thanks for all the advice! I'll give the measurol a shot and hope it kills them.

Thanks! Any advice on what to use to kill them?

Hi all, I am an indoor grower and have found a few tiny snails in the past couple months on my plants. On a scale of don't-worry-about-it to kill-it-with-fire, how concerned should I be? Their shells are about 5 mm across. I have no idea where they came from as they showed up when I hadn't...

I've read that Cyp. reginae was only ever found at one site in Garrett County and that site has been lost to history. I'd be willing to drive to western Pennsylvania to see it if I had a concrete location. I'll probably hit a well known site for parviflorum var pubescens in VA in a week or...

You are correct. These are in Washington County. Seeing these has been the highlight of my Spring. I am also about to lose it due to the weather. I have only been able to plant a few of my annuals and have two dozen plants to bring inside before tomorrow night's freeze watch here in MoCo...

Hi All, We're about to get an unusually late freeze, so I rushed out today to search for Cyp. candidum in bloom here in Maryland. I got lucky and found a patch of about a dozen plants in bloom. It's the only known location for this species in Maryland. And some extra good news - there were a...

That is truly amazing. I can't see how they wouldn't know the usage of the word given what the flower looks a lot like...

Hi All, Took a drive over to the Patuxent Wildlife Refuge in Maryland, USA, a few days ago to hunt for Cyp. acaule. Got lucky and found a handful in bloom. My calendar was oddly open, so I had plenty of time to look around. --Stephen

Eric's yay besseae comments are like the sirens from the emergency vehicles traveling down the main road near my house. I know when they're there, but they don't really register or leave lasting impressions in my brain.

All the photos I have are posted on my site. Although the division you got for me from JP is in low spike, so I'll have another photo soonish.

Nice! How many clones are there? The species description only mentioned one?

In my experience, Bill's been pretty good with responding promptly to emails. With all the craziness going around right now, that might be your best option.

Sure, just send me a PM with your mailing address and I'll drop it in the mail.

I kept one other which is also quite nice. I wish I'd kept more...

Nice bloom! You learn to ignore him

I have a nice pandemic orchid blooming. It's Phrag. Evening Blaze (Twilight ‘Rising Rocket’ AM/AOS [4N] x Waunakee Sunset ‘Cherry’) I got in flask from Chuck Acker. I'm quite happy with this one: --Stephen

I just paid the $54 for an online membership and it seems to be working fine. I mostly want to look through all the back issues for slipper articles. Not sure why a judge would care...

You're welcome to pollen any time you'd like it as long as mine's in bloom. The leaves on this one have a faint mottling: https://photos.app.goo.gl/4QZvYYZ6RxW3f6HQA

Thanks much for the clarification! I wasn't sure if you had to buy access to the OrchidPro software to get more than just the award photos.
