    'The Scent of Scandal" discussion

    I read this book recently and thought it was quite well written. The author fleshed out the story and the people involved, filling in the gaps of what I knew of this saga. I enjoy history, Orchid history in particular. Although recent history, I'm sure this will become a classic in the genre of...

    What plants do you grow besides orchids?

    I haven't bothered to do much grafting other than some species that I have found difficult to strike from cuttings and a few standards I made using a prostrate form of E maculata.

    What plants do you grow besides orchids?

    In Australia I have a collection of 80+ "heritage" fruit and nut trees, a nice collection of Lithops, a few Aroids: mainly Arisaema, a few Bromeliads and about 30 species in the Bambuseae family. I like Australian natives and grow 116 species of Eremophilas ( I remember when there were only 116...

    upstate ny pterostylis

    Looking good. I have spoken to Les Nesbitt a couple of times recently. I suggested that if a large order was consolidated, it would be much cheaper per tuber but he isn't interested in selling overseas. If you guys are still interested in buying tubers, I'd recommend Heinrich Beyrle in...

    Well, I hadn't heard about it either and I'm sure that almost nobody in border protection in Vietnam knows about it!

    orchid gifts seized by customs officials at perth airport

    Early this year, I was returning to Vietnam and had 6 Macadamia nut tree seedlings with me. Just prior to boarding the plane, I was asked by customs to open my bags where they found the seedlings. I was asked for my plant import permit from the authorities in Vietnam. I said, I don't have or...
