Happy New Year tomorrow! Just an FYI for people who really like to show off their orchids; in the US you can have any picture you want printed onto a US postal stamp. I don't know the exact details other than I think you access the usps web site and upload a picture, pay the fee and then very soon printed stamps will be sent to you. If you'd like to immortalize a flower you *finally got on one of your plants, you can have some stamps printed and sent to all your friends. No, I don't work for the post office and I won't make any money by telling you this! A co-worker had his dog put onto a stamp. Just shows that pets are big money in North America or at least in the US (people really do spend money on other things than suv's, cell service, fancy coffee and hi-def tv) regards, charles -- charles ufford oriskany, ny usa _______________________________________________ the OrchidGuide Digest (OGD) [email protected] http://orchidguide.com/mailman/listinfo/orchids_orchidguide.com
