Hi everyone,

I've been putting in the work on the website the last few weeks and wanted
to let everyone know what's new:

* Thumbnail pages R and S are up. There are large numbers of Restrepias,
Stanhopeas, Sobralias, Scaphosepalums represented. Lots of other fascinating
species as well.

* The July Bay Area Pleurothallid Alliance Meeting is finally up. Sorry it
took so long. Lots of new Masdevallias, Lepanthes, and Draculas.

* My trip to what I think is one of the best Orchid Conservatories in the
United States - the Fuqua Orchid Center at the Atlanta Botanical Gardens.
Their Highland Tropics room was amazingly close to being in the forest in
Ecuador. If you're in or close to Atlanta, this is a *must stop* event for
serious orchidists.

* San Francisco Orchid Society events. October OrchidFest was well attended
and there were lots of great things to see. The October and November Orchid
Society meetings had some unusual species including Helcia brevis, Aeranthes
henricii, Grosourdya appendiculata, Catasetum ochraceum, Dendrobium
tobaense, and lots more.

Keep checking back - the October Bay Area Pleurothallid Alliance Meeting is
in process and I am about to start updating letters A thru S again with new
species as well as trying to finish the alphabet. Too many wonderful orchid
events to attend, greenhouses to visit, photos to take to get it all done.

Enjoy! Feel free to contact me with comments, suggestions, or questions.
