"We should be world leaders in orchids but NO, we/some think that the grass is greener elsewhere, for me, no way, I for one will buy Aussie where ever I can. Atleast, if you happen to have a problem, the bloke you bought the plants from is not that far away." ROY
Well written Roy. If you read the article on page 17 of "Paphiopedilum in Twain 111". You will see that the goverment is highly promoting the industry also. I suppect the the Taiwan nursery was heavily involed in helping the Society meet the publication cost. They should all be very proud of such a high quality product being published. I certinally will be looking forward to buying it. Yes, I think Australian nursery produce top quality orchids also, (BUT it is also a problem guessing what the actual plant looks like when no pictures are avaible of the parent plants.). One of the outstanding catalogues produced last year 2003, was by the the native grower Wayne Turville of Vic. Fantastic amount of colour photographs. If the Australian O/C produced yearly of by-yearly books on say Awarded Paphs/Cymbids/Natives etc. I for one would certinaly be buying them.
