Hello everybody. My name is Paul Girdlestone, and I grow orchids in my home, under lights, in Winnipeg, Canada. I grow a variety of oncidium intra-generics, mini-catts, paphs and phrags. I have been reading the Digest with great interest. I am very interested in reading more on orchid roots. I would like to understand more about how orchids absorb nutrients. I would also like to understand the chemistry of what goes on at the root. I noticed a reference in the last little while to an article by A.M. Pridgeon and a book by Arditti. I intend to follow up on those, but I wonder if there are any other references anyone could give me? Also, I never studied botany in school, but I am becoming interested in botany and plant physiology. Can anyone recommend a good textbook?
