uh oh...tricky how? I don't like the sound of that one bit, especially coming from someone who's semi-pro at this business. this may change things entirely... edit: and furthermore, if these two are indeed overly tricky, does anyone have any suggestions of something slightly less tricky...

Yaargh! Me likes the pirate banner.

I can only get one of them, and am having trouble deciding which I like more. They're both small, fuzzy, pink phrags, and both are the same price and in spike. Visually I think I like the fischeri a little better, but I've never seen either in person, so it could just be deceptive photography...

So far the lowii seems to be doing just fine...in fact, I may even be joining Marco in the sheath-hoping-for dance soon. I just received my second slipper in the mail today. It was my free orchid for joining AOS. Paph Vert 'Crystal Court' HCC/AOS x Treasure Island 'Jack.' It looks pretty...

I very much want one of these but my wife forbids it--she's scared it will eat her. a legitimate concern? perhaps...

I may be joining marco soon in the chanting group...my new lowii has what looks like either a new leaf or a sheath. it's still inside the crown, just visible when the plant is transilluminated. either way, awesome. :D

there's instructions all over the internets for how to solve rubiks cubes. I used to be able to do it in 15 minutes, which is the only productive thing I learned how to do in my thermodynamics class back in college. the method I learned involves solving one side completely, then working...

Matt, that's an excellent demonstration, and certainly something I'll have to try eventually (once I get enough flowers that I don't mind "wasting" one). After the pod develops, how does one know that it's ready? And once you determine it's ready, then what?

With any luck (meaning getting members of my family to agree on a few things), this cross will have a name shortly. Assuming this all goes down, it will be named after my aunt, who is dying of breast cancer and currently in hospice care. Of course, if anyone wants to give me money to...

I'm well aware that it's orchidsource forum and slipperorchid forum that are the problems. orchidboard is the other other white meat. :D or the good board. I tend to follow orchidboard more because I only have one paph.

john, you know I was just kidding, since someone got banned earlier today. perhaps I should have used this smiley instead :poke: :poke: :poke:

the "other board" has a pretty good glossary. www.orchidboard.com hopefully I don't get banned for suggesting the same. :evil:

I just entered the contest. 10/10. I can feel the free money just flowing my way already... :p :D

most german syntax is similar to english...there's a few notable exceptions though. sometimes a verb or verbs will get kicked to the end of a clause. there's lots of good grammar books out there. just get on amazon and type in german grammar. I have "german in review" specifically for...

ahh, now I get it. I was so confusified before. thanks Marco!

I'm working nights right now. I don't like working nights. :mad:

Marco, I know I'm no expert on taxonomy, but how can tigrinum x tigrinum be a hybrid??? Wouldn't this just be a sib cross or a selfing?

back on topic... I can't seem to find schlimii at any of the major, trustworthy vendors I know of, at least on a cursory search. any suggestions of where I might find this little darling? and is it easy to grow?

Gilda, what's the fuzzy one? Looks like something my wife would like...she's crazy about anything pink and/or fuzzy.

the "purest" is double-distilled, de-ionized water. but that's typically only available in chemistry labs...
