Taxonomy rant!
now this is a perfect example of why my doppelganger needs it's own email
name and address. "al" wrote in message news:prTPg.6903$wU4.3252@trnddc06... At the risk of turning this thread a bit blue: ...for all the attention *those* demand, they remain relatively silent when I shake them. Whatever's in there it isn't grit. And you should probably be glad you don't have them. Despite all the pleasure they can provide, they do have a direct influence on the course of one's life and once they have spoken, they can not be overridden easily by the brain. Most of the time one just kind of goes along for the ride and the goofy looking reward at the end. Humans are indeed strange creatures. "Reka" wrote in message . .. Sounds better than grit in your balls to me...but then I have no physical balls...only figurative ones. Reka |

I'm glad you posted this, Wendy. For some reason I never saw JA's response

Have you seen the current issue of Orchids? Have you? Did you know that aurantiaca and skinneri are no longer Cattleyas? Huh? Huh? Ditto bowringiana. And on pg. 659 - top right photo and lower half of the page - what kind of labeling is that? "Guarianthe (syn. Cattleya) x guatemalensis 'Barbara Sullivan' CCM/AOS (skinneri x aurantiaca)" And on pg 661, they identify bowringiana in one picture as "C." and in the one below as Guarianthe (syn. Cattleya). This is getting stupid. Diana Oh gosh. I've been putting off reading this thread because of it's size. (my post will take it to 50 posts) By complete coincidence I finally started reading the current Orchids and last night I was noticing exactly what you are talking about including the contradiction on page 661. Well, I'm going to bed now. Maybe tomorrow I get on into this and see what everyone has been talking about. Steve |

Is "Orchids" mailed (or sent by bicycle maybe) from your town? I just got
mine on Friday. Georgia ain't that far from Florida. -danny "Diana Kulaga" wrote in message ... Have you seen the current issue of Orchids? ... Diana |

Good grief! We should be getting the October issue in about a week!
Sometimes they are late, but usually they are timely. I have heard others (right in this area, too) say that they rec'd issues late when I'd rec'd mine on time. Go figger.....

When there is a reason to compare when the magazine arrives, I'm always one of the first to get it. I live up north in the middle of nowhere. Maybe they send to the ones who have been members the longest first. That seems fair since I've been an AOS member since 1976. Seriously though, I'm sure they would do some sort of pre-sorting (by region) for a better postal rate, unless the volume is too low for that. Maybe your mail man is a budding orchid grower. Steve (in the Adirondacks of northern NY) PS The plastic is still on when it comes to you, right? Any tape? ;-) |

Rob -- Rob's Rules: http://littlefrogfarm.com 1) There is always room for one more orchid 2) There is always room for two more orchids 2a) See rule 1 3) When one has insufficient credit to obtain more orchids, obtain more credit |
