The event took place in April in Manhattan at the Chelsea Television Studio... 5-by-7-foot acrylic painting of the flower by... Anne Link ... Martha Stewart... told... about her personal orchid collection, consisting of more than 200 plants grown in a commercialsized greenhouse at her home in Westchester, N.Y. ... She seemed delighted by the painting... ... The challenge to Martha is... Her namesake Cattleya, if grown correctly, will bloom every April... The rest [!!!] of the world... will have to wait four years to get exact reproductions of this... Cattleya." source : http://www.timesdispatch.com/servlet/Satellite?pagename=RTD/MGArticle/RTD_BasicArticle&%09s=1045855936376&c=MGArticle&cid=1149188186137&path=!flair!hg ********** regards, VB _______________________________________________ the OrchidGuide Digest (OGD) [email protected] http://orchidguide.com/mailman/listinfo/orchids_orchidguide.com
