[OGD] Stelis Identity

I would like to thank everone who answered my call for help in identifying the unknown Stelis, both on the Digest and by e-mail. The general concensus is that this is Stelis argentata. Thanks, greig russell ___ the OrchidGuide Digest (OGD) [EMAIL

[OGD] Re: Stelis sp.

Hi Grieg, My first thought for your Stelis is argentata. It is one of the most common in cultivation here in the states thanks to Andrea Niessen from Colombia. I'm pretty sure it is from Ecuador too... Enjoy, Kathy in MN. ___ the OrchidGuide Digest

[OGD] George's mistake

There have been a couple of posts here suggesting that people were justifying George Norris's actionswhich I think is showing a major misunderstanding...I don't think that anyone here is justifying the actions to which George has pleaded guilty...basically, intentionally mislabelling phrags so

[OGD] Catalase and Kathy

There is a powerful enzyme, catalase, present in most cells, bacterial, plant and animal, that converts hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen real quick. The peroxide lasts long enough to put the kabash on many bacteria for a short time, hence its effectiveness in treating crown rot, but

[OGD] Peroxide in repotting

K, Your notions about the destructive effect hydrogen peroxide has on cell membranes is correct; the free radical components of H2O2 are highly reactive, however they will seek out the protein receptors in the cell membranes of bacteria and react to completion long before they can do any

[OGD] pls MERIDA not MIRIDA

Dear Charlie (Baker) Your advise on climatic conditions for Cyrtochilum meirax are just the thing but I have noticed in several postings that people tend to misspell MERIDA, writing MIRIDA instead. Merida is the capital city and the State of the same name high in the Venezuerlan Andes. A

[OGD] Euro Green Asia

Hi all I have been in contact with George Hample of Euro Green Asia Orchids from Thailand and he has given me permission to post his email on OGD as an explanation of his position re the damaging info that has been posted here recently. Perhaps this will clear matters up. This email was initially

[OGD] Merida, Venezuela

Julie : Thanks for the interesting comments about Merida, Venezuela. About the accents : if we use the appropriate Spanish accent for Merida, it comes out as Mirida. The program used for the OGD, unfortunately, does not allow for the use of accents which English does not use. Un saludo cordial

[OGD] OGD V6 # 442; Crime and Punnishment

[OGD] George and Eric

Eric, you got it dead right in every respect..Full Stop...I can stand here and defend George til the die I die...I can do so with something on my side that (likely) no one else here can do...George sued the hell out of me and won..big money...for something that some one else did to him...I just

[OGD] I agree with many of you.

George Norris did break the law, and he is the first to admit it. However, the punishment he got does not fit the crime and is draconian, as I and others have said before. ___ the OrchidGuide Digest (OGD) [EMAIL PROTECTED]
