Gutter Guard for Mounts?
Thanks for letting me know Molli, now I have to find out when it will be on
again?
Cheers Wendy

Wendy, the college holds a sale of the Raymond Burr orchids twice a year.
Just last weekend in fact. A friend of mine picked me up two. I now own
four of his orchids. Huge plants with massive root systems!

Hmmm.....? I have the same problem up in Santa Barbara, always go the
wrong
way.
- Raymond Burr Collection, I once had a chance to get some
seedlings
of his blues but
I had just started & was leery about buying babies. I could kick myself
now.

Wendy,
I guess I had UCR in mind when I asked for directions. Somehow I used
to get lost in the loop. Also, Cal-Poly Pomona got us lost when we
were
looking for the Raymond Burr Collection. It used to be that one could
visit the greenhouses; however, they are now off-limits to the public.

Hi there Pam, UC Irvine is about a mile south east of John Wayne
Airport.
This show is really small & on the opposite end of the totem pole if
comparing to the Otani show in LA.
The vendors cater mainly to the beginners but the reason I like it
is
because it's just up
the freeway from me.

Larry,
For some reason the link did not come across. Could you more or
less
describe the proximity of the orchid show?

better.
I've seen vanilla growing in a relatively small 8" pot at the
base
of
a 4" diameter vertical pole (supporting the ridge of a
greenhouse)
climb the pole and along the roof structure for many tens of
feet.
No
"hydrolog" seems to be necessary for vary large vanilla
specimens;
apparently any support will do fine.
If you're interested in seeing this vanilla plant, Wendy, you
might
consider attending the November 4 & 5 Fall Orchid Festival (10
a.m. -
3 p.m. Admission $2.00) held at the UCI Arboretum. There are
usually
many orchid vendors outdoors offering a diversity of lovely
specimens.
The Arboretum is located approximately one mile south of the 405
freeway, very close to the corner of Jamboree Road and Campus
Drive.
