Who We Are revisited
Thanks for the nice welcome
Dave said... Welcome, Tony. Do you grow any of the WA terrestrials? I do indeed. They are so easy to grow here as all we have to do is leave the pots outside all year. They have the same conditions that they have in the bush. Several members of our society went over for the conference recently past. Were you there? Was I what!! Mavis and I were on the organising Committee. We had a ball. And managed to get the best Species and the Best Dendrobium too. You can see all the results here http://www.orchidswa.org.au/Conference%20Photos.htm Two years of planning and it all came together just nicely. So long as you ignore a few blips. But there are always a few blips. We plan to do it all again in three years time and have learned heaps from our first effort. Given your interests, it's a shame the WA climate precludes native epiphytes. That must also be a bit of a trial for growing the hardcane Dens you have! No. actually Aust Natives are very forgiving and so long as they get their fair share of water, they will do very well.same applies to the Hardcanes. Reka said Ohmigod! A whole page of Thelymitras... No. Far more than a whole page. I haven't counted the pages recently but I think it is in the order of around 250 pages of Thelymitras. I have died and gone to heaven! No. Heaven is in WA ;-) Beautiful pictures. Thank you. I only wish I had taken them. But Ron Heberle will be smiling in his grave at your comments. John Varigos said Hi Tony Welcome to the group. I was fortunate to visit with Graham and Margaret Bowden earlier this year I was sorry to have missed you. and Graham showed me the original photos taken by Ron. The colours are quite spectacular. Ron was a self taught photographer. Indeed he was a self taught everything, and his pix are indeed great. You can see why I wanted to put them on the web. We also went to the salvage site at the end of the freeway I did a bit on this for the Orchid Safari a while back. You can see it here. http://www.orchidtrek.com/aussie/aus...servation.html Visiting with Graham and Margaret got me interested in the native terrestrials and I couldn't resist joining your club and bringing some home. I was aware that you were now a bona fide member of the Sp Orchid Soc of WA and you are most welcome.I believe you are on the mailing list for the monthly on line newsletter too, but here is the url if you are not. http://members.iinet.net.au/%7Eemntee/page17.html Tony |
