Gutter Guard for Mounts?
Wendy, I think the school is Cal-Poly, but don't quote me on that. Every
March and Oct. they hold a sale of their RB orchids. Some of them are rough looking, ALL need repotted desperately, but they are only $15 each!! A friend of mine on one of the forums lives near there and always hits the sale. She just sent me two, one named, one not. And last spring I got two others from her which are still alive..barely...due to MY ignorance, not the plants fault. -- Hugs, Molli "Wendy" wrote in message news:KVRmb.85182$Ms2.68018@fed1read03... I would like to find out about this sale. Sounds intriguing! Cheers Wendy "molli" wrote in message ... Wendy, the college holds a sale of the Raymond Burr orchids twice a year. Just last weekend in fact. A friend of mine picked me up two. I now own four of his orchids. Huge plants with massive root systems! -- Hugs, Molli "Wendy" wrote in message news:az2mb.82705$Ms2.22629@fed1read03... Hmmm.....? I have the same problem up in Santa Barbara, always go the wrong way. - Raymond Burr Collection, I once had a chance to get some seedlings of his blues but I had just started & was leery about buying babies. I could kick myself now. Cheers Wendy "profpam" wrote in message ... Wendy, I guess I had UCR in mind when I asked for directions. Somehow I used to get lost in the loop. Also, Cal-Poly Pomona got us lost when we were looking for the Raymond Burr Collection. It used to be that one could visit the greenhouses; however, they are now off-limits to the public. . . .

I've seen vanilla growing in a relatively small 8" pot at the base of a 4" diameter vertical pole (supporting the ridge of a greenhouse) climb the pole and along the roof structure for many tens of feet. No "hydrolog" seems to be necessary for vary large vanilla specimens; apparently any support will do fine. If you're interested in seeing this vanilla plant, Wendy, you might consider attending the November 4 & 5 Fall Orchid Festival (10 a.m. - 3 p.m. Admission $2.00) held at the UCI Arboretum. There are usually many orchid vendors outdoors offering a diversity of lovely specimens. The Arboretum is located approximately one mile south of the 405 freeway, very close to the corner of Jamboree Road and Campus Drive.
