Scully,
With the national economy in the crapper and a tremendous amount of people out of work in the USA, everyone is depressed and buying/maintaining orchids (classed as discretionary luxury purchases) is extremely difficult now financially. To push out the thought and hurt of this situation many people are avoiding reminders of expensive orchids (that they can only dream about now) by staying away from RGO and Orchid Forum. I think people have perhaps become a little more content with they own backyard collection "as is" now and have simply withdrawn from the orchid "scene" for a while to piddle around a bit more in the quiet of their greenhouses personally rather than write on the keyboard whilst the hired gardener used to attend to the collection instead. As we all know, a majority of RGOers have laid off their hired help in the last year... you do/did have a hired gardener? Did you not? It is a sad fact of life that paying the house rent and buying groceries is much important than orchids now... hence the reason nobody is here.

Gene,
But of course your special gardener would do this for you... that is, after the your valet has laid out your special orchid reviewing formal attire for the grand occasion. Mick |

Why is there nobody here? First of all, seems to me people are here, though maybe a little less active than usual. The fact that the weather is more or less nice in more parts of the country than SoCal and South Florida probably has something to do with it. |

It's the economy... as Bill Clinton would say. Mick |

Why is there nobody here? We're all out in our greenhouses enjoying our Orchids, repotting and cleaning up after the past winter. If not, I'm probably out looking for new plants at a show or local dealer. Things will pick up here this summer when it's too hot to be outdoors for long without working up a major sweat!
