David Hunt orchids
I finally e-mailed him after reading that everyone got their orders on
Wednesday. I still don't have mine because he can't find my order. He says he has some orchids left over, maybe they are mine. I sent him my original e-mail. hope I get them. "profpam" wrote in message ... Hi, I ordered the following from David Hunt: Arachnis flos-aeris 6.00 Seidenfadennia mitrata 9.50 Vanda brunea 11.50 Vandadopsis gigantea 11.50 Vandaopsis parishii 11.50 Vanilla aphylla 9.50 I received all except the Vanda brunea for a total of $56.50. After soaking all of them for about an hour in water, a little sugar, a couple of sprays of Physan into the solution, and superthrive, I potted them all and they look pretty good. This is my first order from David, and I am also pleased. (An aside to Rob: I don't know where David Hunt obtained my email address for sure; however, he was once a partner of George Norris; so, he may have gotten it from George or this forum.

In as far as CITES go, Ray, I think you still have to be concerned if you are reselling Paphs or anything in Appendix 1. Just attended Harold Koopowitz's lecture of Imports, etc., and he insists that one take special care to not import any that are listed in there as fines run $25,000. Since David is the importer in this case, it seems to take months as he does go for all the paperwork in which case if you buy anything that you even think might be in Appendix 1 then be sure to ask him for a copy of the permits. . . .

David Hunt orchids
Gid,
If you need the greeting cards, I have orchid-related ones on my website, and I guarantee no spam will follow from me! -- Ray Barkalow First Rays Orchids http://www.firstrays.com Secure Online Ordering & Lots of Free Info! "Gideon Singer" wrote in message ... Another scam is for those free greeting cards to be emailed to your friends. All the spam I recieve approx 15 per day orginated from this one Xmass card that I got from a well meaning friend. NEVER unsubscribe to any spam it only validates the orginal email address.

Your newsgroup program should have something that would permit you to put the reply to address in the blank. Add "NOSPAM" to your address and the harvester gets . If I were responding I would see that is not a valid address and would edit it to the correct address. I did this several months ago and greatly reduced the junk email.

David Hunt orchids
Hi, Doris,
This was the first order I received from David, and it looks like he has hundreds of customers. Here we all are bragging about and you didn't get yours. I hope he finds the original order for you. Received my India order (from December) today. I really had to soak this batch -- truly dried out. Good luck, Doris. .. . .

David Hunt orchids
Pam, I had already deleted this thread, so couldn't post a follow-up. I sent
him my original e-mail the one where I placed my order. He wrote back that he still had extra plants and would send me a list to choose from. I never got a list but I got a package of freebies. You can't beat that. Doris "profpam" wrote in message ... Hi, Doris, This was the first order I received from David, and it looks like he has hundreds of customers.
