Mr. O'Byrne, I didn't bother responding to that Mike and Candy post

Comfrey is a fantastic ingredient for compost. So don't dig it up! Put
the leaves (not the roots) on the pile. This may not help your
epiphytic orchids, but it'll sure the give your garden a boost. Maybe
your terrestrial orchids too (cymbidiums?), though I think someone

that pollinate them, to keep ahead of competitors? And if so, is this
in any way unusual in the plant kingdom?

Good grief, as if C*T*S (the bad word) and cross-border tirades

Try writing to Cloud's Orchids in Toronto
