The following is a cross-post from Troy Meyers of the Meyer's Conservatory of Poulsbo, Wa. He is asking people who have purchased from him in the past (or anyone who would be willing to help) if they could donate to his business, which is one of many firms having cash flow problems because of the very down economy. Originally intended for current customers, he was happy to have his message cross-posted wherever acceptable. If this is not acceptable on this list, then I humbly apologize. It's not an open advertisement, just asking current customers of his if they would be willing to help in a time of financial stress. Since we have seen a fair number of orchid retailers go out of business recently, maybe this can be a way to avert one more source of flasked seedlings from going out of business. More details can be found by following the link below. .... and I am not employed or affiliated with Meyer's Conservatory in any way.
