Coqui frogs, once in a habitat, breed like mad...they went from one frog to
thousands on my property at home..all in just a matter of a year or less...they
have inundated us on the Big Island of Hawaii and cannot be eradicated by any
means yet known...a true pest if there ever was one..Bill

they are so foolish as to enter where they are not wanted..the cats also take
care of the unwary rats and mice..another thing they get handsomely paid
for...to the tune of several dollars per day...the price of living in
paradise..Bill Bergstrom

Where do people get these things..Lee had nothing to do with the move or the
money spent on anything..When you wrote to him, he could only pass it along..He
has been maligned for far to long..the reason he is leaving..Others made the
decisions for all these years..and who evers name is out
Fifty years of the wrong attitude does not make things any better...I will

I have known Tennis for some time.SorryI cannot believe anyone could
come up with such stuff to degrade the AOS...I cannot condone it...What is he
talking about? The AOS has done marvels for the American
Orchidist..period..the thought that they should go away to suit him or his ilk
is
Sorry folks..I have been with the AOS for 32 years..and while I see some
changes..none are as bad as I am hearing..I go back there and talk with them
from time to time..I have not always loved some of the magazine editors..names
withheld..but lately I am in constant touch with Lee and have
Sorry but Emlys book has lots of mistakes..and I love her for doing the
book..but mistakes exist...and as for the two names for Blumei...they are
absolutely the same plant..distance between bulbs is inconsequential..as you
should know...that could be just different clones, for all that...the
Please disregard the comments about judges in the previous Digest...One persons
comments about judges and judging can hardly be taken seriously..If he has
problems where he is..well so be it..I have traveled all over the U.S. and
judged at many shows and where I lectured..I find the remarks to
As to whether the two names are the same plant..they surely are..I have
received them both under the two different names..and sell the blumei from
Wilbur Chang..which has been awarded..and bears his wifes name as the
clone...In fact..can you imagine how a flower that looks just like the
They grow very well indeed here in Hawaii..I , and many others, have grown them
outdoors here...slow growers at best..must be more than four foot tall to bloom
here..though many of them bloom every year...The interesting thing is that the
colors are quite variable..I show one on my site that is
It is a shame that more of you folks out there are commenting on things that
you have slim knowledge on...ONE...Lee is leaving the AOS...and since I know
him well and have great respect for him..having dealt with him and had long
personal discussions with him..on all these issues, to include
I do well with them as long as I follow the
rules..no leaves no water..HOWEVER..with some hybrids you get new growth started
as the leaves fall..as long as you have inch or so long roots on the new growth
you will have to continue watering..but sparsely..just enough for the new growth

upshot to this is to say that, noI never saw a location where they grew on
the flats..and my supplier from Ecuador told me that his plants were extremely
high up some cliffs above an army base where he was an officer..collecting them
was a real adventure..Bill Bergstrom
..this is not a species that will be common in cultivation..and, sorry to
say, so far the hybrid with boissierianum is faring no better from flasks sent
here by Silva...(not to me, by the way) So, for the moment, do not waste
your money...Bill Bergstrom
It will not matter about the topic since Pauline says she cannot get it into
the program anyway...too late..but you will just be there at the end and
start talking..I DID get you into the newspaper...I include the blurb and
you will figure out how best to follow up on it. Be sure to get the

information he was happy to dispense..and way too young to go...Bill
