After taking the tutorial (found on the OrchidWiz webpage - google it) Orchid Wiz has proven to be beneficial in 2 more ways.
1)The cultural information provided by Charles & Margaret Baker. (Click on the 'culture' button.) 2) The 'Sources' tab found under the previously mentioned 'Culture' tab. This is where you can find literature citations for articles on whatever it is you are looking up. I was looking up L pumila (yeah,yeah, sophronitis or whatever it is these days) and C walkeriana and found what I was looking for faster than looking thru the AOS bulletin index - including boot up time for the computer and boot up time for the program. These boot time considerations must be included, in my humble opinion. Also, in the image 'Gallery' section there's a section for published images, including vendor catalogs and the like. Understand, I use OW almost exclusively for AOS award research so I think of it in those terms, but I'm beginning to learn there's more useful stuff in here than I imagined. Of course, it helps if you have a library, too. *G* Its nice that it has as many images of flowers that it does. (NOT award images, just plain old images like what you see every day.)( Which isn't to say they are *bad* images, just that I don't want people to think they are the AOS award images) (Oh bother, how do I get myself into these messes?) I have no affiliation with OrchidWiz.
