I am sure all of us have our favorite orchid-related Web sites. Care to
share yours? I assume that many of us are familiar with many such sites, however I assume that there are some sites that you know that I don't, and I would wish I knew, if only I knew that I should know .... Here are a few of mine (just to start out the thread, though I assume most of you already know these): http://www.orchidlady.com http://www.orchidspecies.com http://orchidweb.org/orchids/ -- especially the Orchids A-Z part http://www.orchids.com/ -- I must admit that I have never bought anything from this site yet, but I love going there from time since I think it is the best Web site for browsing through the catalogue and putting everything that appeals in the shopping cart, and thinking how much money I can save by not buying everything that I put in the cart :-) http://www.bedfordorchids.com/ -- I especially enjoyed some of the informational articles such as the ones on Yellow Phalaenopsis Breeding Suggested Rules for this game: (1) Try not to be too shameless, avoid posting your own site (if someone else posted your site, wouldn't that be better) (2) A site isn't a favorite if you have been there only once and don't intend to go back over and over again (3) There is no rule 3. :-) (3a) If you want to ignore these rules, I can't stop you. I am letting go of the sole proprietorship over this thread as soon as I hit the Send button. It's going to lead to tangents, isn't it? I can see it already: from 'favorite sites' to 'HTML coding' to 'code of conduct' to 'conductors' to 'runaway trains' to 'model trains' to 'training supermodels'. Noooooo! Best, Joanna |

Molli,
You are right about Al's. I even debated with myself whether to list his site, but myself pointed out to me that I had mentioned Al in so many threads already that it would almost seem suspicious (no, Al is not paying me anything) + being lucky enough to live close to him, I prefer his greenhouse to his Web site (yes, I know I should stop rubbing that in for all of you who are jealous of that). Thanks for the bottom three URLs, they are new to me, I go explore them now. Joanna "molli" wrote in message ... www.orchidexchange.com (you just can't go wrong with Al's plants!) www.firstrays.com www.bigleaforchids.com www.andysorchids.com www.Oakhillgardens.com www.goldcountryorchids.com These are my top 6 for internet shopping. -- Hugs, Molli |

Joanna, Andy's does mostly mounted plants, but the customer service is
exceptional. They even call you at home a week later to make sure you are happy! Alan Koch runs Gold Country, and wow..what a personality! His love for orchids really comes through if you ever have a chance to talk to him at a show. And Greg Butler of Oak Hill is another charmer. All three vendors are very willing to answer questions, no matter how dumb (trust me, some of mine ARE dumb) and will take as much time as needed with you, whether at a show, on the phone or in email. -- Hugs, Molli "J Fortuna" wrote in message ...

Joanna,
Since most everyone posted places to buy, I'll post a list of just great places to read and learn about orchids. http://www.loujost.com/ - great modern explorer of the hidden orchid treasures left in Ecuador http://orchids.rnr.id.au/ - Amazing site with hundreds of in-situ photos of Australian terrestrial orchids http://members.iinet.net.au/%7Eemntee/page18.html - Australian Native Species http://www.rbgkew.org.uk/herbarium/orchid/ - Orchid Research Newsletter at KEW in England - for true orchid nerds http://elparaiso.org/orchidata/cats.htm - Nice site about Catasetums http://www.pleione.info/ - Everything you wanted to know about Pleiones http://www.disas.com/ - Everything you wanted to know about Disas (note: URL is disas.com, disa.com is a non-orchid business, very boring site) http://houstonorchidsociety.org/Stanhopea/ - Nina Rach's all-comprehensive site dealing with the Stanhopeinae http://sobralia.autrevie.com/ - Nina can't just be satisfied with Stanhopeas - the Sobralia pages are awesome as well http://www.orchids.org/ - OrchidMania's site - good comprehensive info about orchids in general - read the legal disclaimer at the bottom of the main page for a good laugh. This is a quick extract from my Favorites - hope you enjoy them. -Eric in SF "J Fortuna" wrote in message ... I am sure all of us have our favorite orchid-related Web sites. Care to share yours? I assume that many of us are familiar with many such sites, however I assume that there are some sites that you know that I don't, and I would wish I knew, if only I knew that I should know .... Here are a few of mine (just to start out the thread, though I assume most of you already know these): http://www.orchidlady.com http://www.orchidspecies.com http://orchidweb.org/orchids/ -- especially the Orchids A-Z part http://www.orchids.com/ -- I must admit that I have never bought anything from this site yet, but I love going there from time since I think it is the best Web site for browsing through the catalogue and putting everything that appeals in the shopping cart, and thinking how much money I can save by not buying everything that I put in the cart :-) http://www.bedfordorchids.com/ -- I especially enjoyed some of the informational articles such as the ones on Yellow Phalaenopsis Breeding Suggested Rules for this game: (1) Try not to be too shameless, avoid posting your own site (if someone else posted your site, wouldn't that be better) (2) A site isn't a favorite if you have been there only once and don't intend to go back over and over again (3) There is no rule 3. :-) (3a) If you want to ignore these rules, I can't stop you. I am letting go of the sole proprietorship over this thread as soon as I hit the Send button. It's going to lead to tangents, isn't it? I can see it already: from 'favorite sites' to 'HTML coding' to 'code of conduct' to 'conductors' to 'runaway trains' to 'model trains' to 'training supermodels'. Noooooo! Best, Joanna |

Eric,
Thank you so much! I really look forward to exploring these links -- started already but there is too much info to take in at once. Your links were closest to the kinds of links I was hoping to get, but I really appreciated everyone else's links as well, and I hope others did, too. If anyone else has any more links (especially more of such "just great places to read and learn about orchids"), please feel free to continue providing them. If you don't see any posts from me for a while, I probably lost track of time and forgot to eat and sleep while exploring all these wonderful links. Best, Joanna "Eric Hunt" wrote in message ...

news:0ECWb.280539$I06.2960384@attbi_s01... http://www.geocities.com/brassia.geo/OSTA.html Kathy, I just read your 2002 article on Multiflora Phals at the first URL you provided, and I enjoyed it quite a bit -- I just wish all the links from it still worked, but some still do). You persuaded me to finally put Christenson's "Phalaenopsis, A Monograph" on my wishlist (and thus in an email to my husband :-) -- I had heard about it before but had just assumed that since the guy was a taxonomist, the book would be too dry and technical for me. From your article though I gather that it is worth getting. Thank you! Joanna |
