Regarding Mr Pond trying to Flog his Phrags, how come we're getting
commercial spam printed in full on this digest ? (Check his header).
Much as it pains me to agree with anything Peter O'Byrne writes, I
have to. Especially flogging phrags, a group notorious for

It's cheaper than chemicals. An oven uses about 4Kw. Let's assume you run
the oven for 2 hours. Let's also assume a duty cycle of 50% (it's probably
less). Electricity is $0.10/KWH or less in most of the US. That makes the
cost of cleaning a load of pots 40 cents or less. Plus you don't need
Stephen Kemp asked, in regards to the subject:
Is there a scientific term for this phenomenon and what other orchids
display it?
Dunno about scientific term, but my Hartwegia (perhaps obsolete
genus) purpurea does this, blooming repeatedly for years on the same
inflorescence.
Doesn't Psychopsis
quite a lot of "maked up" paphs at the sales boots there.
So, this person, who was presumably a French citizen, isn't to be
criticized (as per your comment above) for his lack of job-related

On page 135, second paragraph they write "The individual and combined
analyses demonstrate the distinctiveness of the molecular sequence data of
Phrag. kovachii. All four plants of Phrag. kovachii were identical for each
sequence analysed."
Doesn't that make these 4 plants twins? Or clones? Or o
It took a long time for science to triumph over creationist beliefs... and
as orchid lovers, you should all know full well that Darwin was right.
I still hold creationist beliefs. I refuse to accept that something
as intricate as the brain can evolve from non-animate
conglomerations. The more I l
Rather than argue about what Fair Use means, why not look at the law itself?

Specifically, have a look at section 107, which reads:

I found that in a hard water area, the sodium hypochlorite in bleach
combined with calcium in the water to saturate the pot with calcium chloride
or something similar, which is poisonous to plants. It killed the roots
wherever they touched the pot. I may not be exactly right about the
chemistry, bu
Sorry to differ with you, and here I think I am on firmer ground than with 8
foot tubes. I used to sterilize all my pots with bleach solution. The past ten
years or so I have been sterilizing the clay pots and metal stakes in the
self cleaning oven, which I believe gets to 700 deg. F.
Way overkill.
Tried that. Also tried 4-tube 4-foot fixtures. Don't. 8-foot tubes are heavy,
very expensive, and it takes two people to change one. Not worth it.
4-tube fixtures don't last. The outer holders get loose. Your best bet is
4-foot 2-tube shoplites, two side-by-side for catts, oncidiums, etc.
Be sure
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 got
