I want Phrag Pink Panther. Dr Rob, any news on when more will be available????

something I've done with plants that weren't actively growing when I got them is just pot them in a normal pot in primeagra. They require watering every 1-2 days that way, but stay a lot dryer than s/h. I figure this is a transition phase, subject to conversion to s/h later, once they're...

I should dig up the strongly worded email I sent them last fall...it resulted in them replacing a plant at their expense without me having to return the defective one. but I'm still never buying anything from them again. too many problems on multiple levels.

if you have CS2, one of the best features to use is highlights/shadows. I use it on almost every picture I take. Almost every picture gets the levels adjusted too. I do it manually if it's a good picture, auto-levels if it's just a snapshot. for the most part though I try to leave the...

I've had a number of problems with plants from Hauserman's, including mislabelled plants. They have been good about replacing things, even a long time after purchase. So I would definitely contact them if I were you. Your phrag is pretty though, even if it's not what was advertised.

they are growing just as you see them in the picture. I use the lowii and the Landmark to shade the two mottled-leaf paphs, and the longifolium gives a little shade to the other phrags as well. the window faces south. there's a building across the street that blocks the light during the...

Paph lowii spike progress...not too much longer! Paph Landmark 4 Phrags on the left, 4 Paphs on the right. 2 of each in spike at present. Not too bad! They are: Phrag longifolium, La Vivace Epicure Phyllis D Turner, besseae, and Cape Sunset Paph Landmark, Vert x Treasure...

hmm...well maybe it will be this year sometime then. only has 4 leaves, but it just started sending out a new growth. we'll see!

now I'm all anxious for mine to bloom...I bought the exact same cross from Rob a couple months ago, but mine's still pretty small. maybe next year...

I went to a lecture back in college that was given by a military illustrator, the topic of which was the difference between illustration and art, and a brief history of military art and illustration. his conclusion was that illustration was only meant to convey the specific idea or concept...

Mine (that you sold me) just dropped it's second bloom, and a third is on the way. it looks every bit as good as yours--love those twisty petals!

man, now I REALLY can't wait until my lowii that's in spike blooms! how long do the spend in spike on average????

that won't be an issue, at least for the time being...I just took a look at the credit card bill from last month... :(

I have a 20 minute morning ritual involving carrying any plant which is in need of water to the sink, pouring fertilizer on it, and then returning it to its place. I have about 30 total plants, which makes this ritual possible. most of my plants are in s/h, but I have a few which are still in...

an update...the one on the lowii turned out to be a sheath after all. definitely not a leaf like I thought previously. the other one is a leaf though. I posted this picture in another thread, I'm just bumping this one.

Lien's not the only one with things in spike! I just discovered this yesterday...what a pleasant new year's surprise!

is this article accessible somewhere online? and can we hear Dr Braem's comments on it? I'm interested to know why they were moved, especially as I thought they had just been moved into sophronitis recently.

I grew up in Salt Lake City. Where in central Utah are you? Anyway, how are you managing the humidity, or lack thereof? Utah is awfully dry...

hmm...what's interesting is that a tree in the same genus is used to make another medicinal compound, croton oil (from Croton tiglium). It is one of the chief ingredients in chemical peels used by plastic surgeons as one of many facial rejuvenating procedures.

I would be very inclined to think that an allergy to ubiquinone is quite rare, if not unheard of. Ubiquinone got its name because it's ubiquitous, as in, found in every living cell. If you were to be allergic to that, I would think the consequences would be deadly. now, minor skin...
