David,
your All-Terrain rider is no chemist. Check his pH desciptions: 4.5 or
below (very acidic) 4.6 to 5.0 (highly acidic) 5.1 to 5.5 (strongly
acidic).
Following this system, you'd soon arrive at: pH 7 (strips the skin off your
hands).

Guido, as a follow up to your last note and for those Aussies of on the list who may
remember a cymbidium cross done in the 60's by Dos Pueblos Aust', C. Joyce Duncan.
This cross produced many classic Green cyms ( for the time ) that were awarded and
acclaimed for years. The parent are :
We had the same problem in a commercial Gerbera operation up here in Canada.
The bush snails were causing irregular leaf growth and no flower production,
looking much the same as a viral or broad/cyclamen mite infestation. I took
some plants that showed more pronounced symptoms and drenched them
There's a person on eBay called Chase's Plants Prints from McKee,

that is apparently stripping the woods around them of Cypripedium acaule.
They are offering them them in lots of up to 300 plants with fifteen lots
available. That's 4,500 plants! They also appear to be stripping these
Eric Hunt ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) queried thusly:
That question brought to mind one I've had for awhile - seems
a good time to ask it.
Is it illegal in any state to remove/collect *any* orchid, regardless of whether it
is on public or private land?
No, no; we're still living in America, still

I guess it depends on what woods are being stripped. If it's
private property with the owner's permission or their own
property, then the removal of plants is perfectly legal in most
states.
If these plants are still part of the Paph, Phrag, Selenipedium

That's a very good question...as far as I know, the only
time that there is intervention when it comes to private
property in the US is for federally listed endangered
species...for awhile, Isotria medeoloides was put on this
list,
It says right there on the e-bay page:
The difference in our plants and others is they are grown in the woods at
our farm not in a nusery (sic) and they transplant and live so much better
plus we will replace any plant that does not live up to one full year.
Great. So when the plants don't
I applaud those of you who are working to bring this possible abuse to the
attention of the appropriate authorities. If everything is legal and above
board, there should be little harm in scrutiny. For those of you with an
interest or need to know who is behind Chase's Plants and Prints, you
Jerry Hoffmeister asked about bush snails:
I didn't have bush snails until I got bifocals. So, that's one
approach, lose the bifocals.
If you only have a few plants, you can submerge the the pots in
water. The little stomachs with mobile homes will crawl out, and you
can crunch them up. You

Anyway, it is the hybridisers who drive the hybridisers mad ...
I guess most of the orchid hybridisers I have come across do tend to

other hybridisers?

Sad news? A man pleads guilty to a breaking a federal law, throws himself at
the mercy of the court and, according to the article, sentenced to the low
end of the federal guidelines.
Wouldn't that be good news? He imported a protected species and tried to
