[OGD] ENOUGH will always be enough.
Trouble, it's Catch 22 isn't it? If every messagehas tobe about orchids,where was the orchidaceous message in that one? Arggghh! John Stanley ___ the OrchidGuide Digest (OGD) orchids@orchidguide.com http://orchidguide.com/mailman/listinfo/orchids_orchidguide.com

Title: Martha and Imelda. Heaven forbid! Finally a posting by Iris that I agree with. Oh well, I'm off to see a shrink and I am hopeful of a complete cure even if this whole thing has left me severely shaken. Hope the New York Show is a great success this week.

Re: [OGD] Off topic = Off list
In a message dated 4/20/06 3:01:28 AM Pacific Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: "ENOUGH!! What is it with you people?! This list is about orchids predominately. Take your off-topic posts elsewhere. There's nothing stopping you from discussing this with one another privately, but it's like you just have a need to grandstand, to be seen, and then the next poster chimes in prolonging the off-topic posts. What part of "Go OFF-list" don't you guys understand It's really very simple. Sorry to be so blunt: Let's stick to orchids and related topics. Please? Totally Arrghh!" Unless I am somehow being automatically spared off topic posts, there hasn't been one on the digest since the 12th of the month. And the appropriateness of that post is debatable. The validity of a particular name, as a consequence of date of publication is on topic. A very public bitch fight may not be, but a significant number of people find them amusing nonetheless. And as national and international politics has an undeniable affect on habitat preservation, global climate change, restrictions on international trade and so on; even political discussion can be seen as an orchid related topic. But on to other things I just crossed two of my nice large flowered clones of Pleione formosana, as well as formosana x confusa (which I believe remakes Shantung). Can any sort of germination be expected if seeds are sown on moss (as with Spiranthes cernua which comes up like a weed)? If they really need to be flasked, how long till the pods can be harvested?

[OGD] Plectrophora help
I've had a Plectorphora triquetra for a couple of years without much progress. It seems that for every reluctant leaf it produces, it loses one. There have been no flowers although the longest leaf is about15cm (6") or so. It is the sole original leaf! The new ones are all shorter - perhaps 5cm. I have used Jay Pfahl's orchidspecies.com site to suggest: warm,humidity 75%, rain watered twice a week, 50cm (20") from 4 x 8'fluorescent light tubes, potted in loose sphagnum moss in a plastic pot, fertilized once a week weaklyfor 3 weeks with hydorponic fertilizerthen a good flushing. Is this a difficult plant? Have you any suggestions about improvements? ___ the OrchidGuide Digest (OGD) orchids@orchidguide.com http://orchidguide.com/mailman/listinfo/orchids_orchidguide.com
Re: [OGD] Plectrophora help
Patrick, This was originally a Tricocentrum, and comes from around 1600 meters altitude and grows in wet montane forest. Compare these conditions with your growing conditions. icones Subject: [OGD] Plectrophora help I've had a Plectorphora triquetra for a couple of years without much progress.
