And Manolo approached you, as if hed give a damn to talk to you Who else approached you? Elvis Presley? Come on Peter Croezen. We know you can do better, pump up your senile brains!! And that your reliable source friend is an enemy (*) of his family like you Peter Croezen are Oh,, that we all know well Of course, you have such a long history of hating people, particularly those who shadow your meaningless life. Peter Croezen, your words describe you and your greedy intentions in the orchid business so well How bad you begrudge others success!! Lets state it straight Peter Croezen, a lousy orchid seller is in his desperate attempts to gather the coins his sorrowful work as gossip maker/spreader cant attain. My advice to you Peter, devote that sharp and knowledgeable mind of yours to something your soul is better reflected with Try cacti!! (*) Enemy: A disgraceful word that only exists in souls full of hate.
----- Original Message ---- From: peter croezen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: OGD <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, 16 February, 2007 5:12:48 PM Subject: [OGD] Chuck Acker It is reported on Slipper Talk Forum that Chuck Acker has sent a letter of apology to all who purchased his Peruflora Pk seedlings. see: http://www.slippertalk.com/forum/showthread.php?p=29466#post29466 Apparently Chuck found out that the Peruflora Pk seedlings, already in compots in his greenhouse, were not Pk. With his letter of apology, Chuck included a refund cheque for the deposit made. It was I who in 2005 warned people on orchid forums that a reliable Lima source told me that Peruflora could not possibly propagate the number of Pk flasks they sold from five legal Pk plants. The suggestion was made that therefore Peruflora would have to have purchased Pk seeds from illegal plants outside their nursery. I received a lot of flack over this and was told that I did not know what I was talking about. Soon after, I received another message from Lima telling me that an enemy of the Arias family had managed to have someone sell Manolo Pk seeds which were in fact seeds of another Phragmipedium species. Knowing my sources to be very reliable, I publicly announced that the Peruflora's Pk species labels are unreliable, if seeds were purchased, and if indeed it was true that non-Pk seeds were sold to them, the seedlings in their flasks may not at all be Pk. Again I was blasted for this by many, publicly and privately. Last May while at the Redland International Orchid Festival, a very angry Manolo Arias stormed into the sales booth (tent) I was in, directed there by one of his friends who talked to me in the line up for the festival BBQ for vendors. Manolo told me that I was spreading false rumours about Peruflora when I stated on orchid forums, which he monitors, that their Pk flasks may not contain Pk seedlings but other species. Well, we now know that my friends and I did not lie but told the truth and that all who contradicted me on the forums truly did not know what they were talking about. Believe me I take no pleasure in this. I feel terribly sorry for all who got stung by this. Chuck Acker did the honourable thing and I expected no less from him. His business will not suffer, quite the opposite will result. peter _______________________________________________ the OrchidGuide Digest (OGD) [email protected] http://orchidguide.com/mailman/listinfo/orchids_orchidguide.com ___________________________________________________________ New Yahoo!
