[OGD] Microfungus
I asked Wes Addison, our most successful local Phal grower, who has evidently been struggling with Micro fungus for years. He says: there are more than fifty know 'species', so identification isn't much help. The stuff gets into the cellular structure, even of the keikies of the affected plants. Bob Gordon, in one of his books, describes a method for suppressing the fungus for perhaps six months, but the symptoms always come back. Given that fact, and that the method involves sequential treatment with three highly toxic (and smelly) substances, he has found it better simply to discard affected plants.

[OGD] Re: Spathoglottis plicata
S. plicata most likely self-pollinates. I had one, and only one, with a single inflorescence, growing with a Stanhopea in its basket in our greenhouse as a weed and it set seed. Mark Dimmitt, who probably gave me the plant with its S. plicata passenger also believes the story.

[OGD] Stanhopea jenischiana
Everyone knows that Stanhopea flower spikes emerge sideways or downward. But we have a plant labeled S. jenischiana with Stanhopea-like leaves and pseudobulbs, with a 2-foot-high vertical inflorescence with about 5 pink-to-red (not yellow) flowers. Does anyone have ideas?
