Christ almighty! Big Head Carp in the greenhouse!!! Will neem oil keep
them away? That's like our friends from the North Carolina Department of Transportation who imported kudzu for erosion control. Now there a whole buildings all over the southeast that will never erode - if we can find them. -- Ray Barkalow - First Rays Orchids - www.firstrays.com Plants, Supplies, Books, Artwork, and Lots of Free Info! ..

I didn't mean for it to sound that way. I meant it to sound like I was asking for your opinions. K Barrett Your not wrong. But, the importers are basically the Phal growers. The hobby is so large and the collections so diverse - it will take a long time to hit many of us. Like Hausermann's in the 70's they are specializing on one thing. At that time you could walk in the gh and see bare plants unless you timed it to a holiday. The Catts only bloomed for holiday sales. And the sales staff had no time for hobby growers... or species. They were known for attitude. Now there is great diversity and the corsage orchid is only a small piece of the business. The bugs are another issue. We just got hit with the Big Head Carp that were imported for some misguided plan on the Mississippi. Now they are threatening native fish in 18 states.
