Cool.

 

[Trithor]

Nice link, thanks.

 

[SlipperKing]

Never heard of him. He must not be a surfer (web)

 

[goldenrose]

I've never heard of him either and I go thru Lincolnshire and Deerfieldin route to our monthly meetings at CBG!

 

[TyroneGenade]

Maybe, he would appreciate a lift, Goldenrose?

“To be an orchid, they have to have six petals — two sepals, two petals, one lip and one column,” he said.

hmmm.

 

[Trithor]

He never claimed to be a professor, my reading left me with the impression that he was a keen hobbyist, and an ambassador of the hobby?

 

[Clark]

Maybe he is just a little rusty.

Not to be rude, but what is an AOS orchid doctor?

Someone with a Ph.D. in fly-by-night orchid anatomy..?

I thought the article nice. And at the rate things are going with the orchid world, we could use ambassadors of any size, shape or age.

I think it was a nice piece as well. I was visiting the local facility for the "mature" a few weeks ago (my wife volunteers there) and was thinking that with all the sunny windows I should find a space for some plants should I ever end-up in the situation that I have to move into a home...

And on a lighter note, ......

 

[TyroneGenade]

Well, the lighter note is that we can still grow orchids. But investing in Paph seedlings might be a waste of precious time.
