It appears that a particularly rapid-growing strain of Oncidium has colonized the cigars of the Floridian wealthy, particularly those of emigre Cubans whose cigars are naturally both larger and fresher than those of the run of the population. Specialist hunters attempt to trap these plants before they can leap onto this attractive habitat, disrupting carefully waxed mustaches. The trick, apparently, is to net the leaping orchid without perturbing the client. ______________________________ Oliver Sparrow +44 (0)20 7736 9716 www.chforum.org _______________________________________________ the OrchidGuide Digest (OGD) [email protected] http://orchidguide.com/mailman/listinfo/orchids_orchidguide.com
