Dear OGD's IOSPE or www.orchidspecies.com is now back up and I think 100% operational. I had a major server debacle and it took 8 days to reupload the entire site. I guess there is a mountain of information there because it took forever to upload. I have added another 30 new species and a new genus [Dichromanthus] in the meantime and also added my traveloge on Colombia http://www.orchidspecies.com/colombia06.htm Lots of landscapes, orchids and Colombian culture. Expect tons of new information on all Asian species as I have 10 new books arriving in the next few days on Sumatra, Borneo, Cambodia, Vietnam and Thailand. I have added many new Epidendrum and Mexican species with the help of Eric Hagsater and his Icones Orchidacearum series. Again I am sorry for any inconvinience that the sites disappearance may have caused. I was shocked more than anyone and have hardly slept so the site could return as quickly as possible. Next weekend is the Tamiami show and I will be there for all three days so if anyone wants to meet me write and let me know where and when you will be there. I will be hanging with Ruben Salueda [Rubin in Orchids] and Rafael Romero [Plantio de Orquideas]. Stop by for a chat! Jay Pfahl www.orchidspecies.com
