Although I have not seen this book, I would agree that one should "Give the
guy credit . . ." as it takes hours upon hours to write and re-write a book.
Deg: I, too, get a chuckle out of the word 'prune' in conjunction with orchid
plants -- roses, yes -- maybe grammatophyllums in the wild and a few other
species? But, if a person truly has a new idea and spends numerous hours and
dollars developing it then it usually is discredited and the rug is taken out
from under -- and then someone else finds it suitable to repackage (even
copyrighted and trademarked material) the same (chuckle). Perhaps this is
capitalism too.

Well, the website is good for a chuckle! How can you not have
confidence in a guy who has "owned nearly 20 varieties or orchids in
all shapes and sizes" and can answer questions like "What is the
proper method to prune your orchid plant?"
