The website reads like a bad infomercial (But wait, there's more. You also get a set of Ginsu knives.) and some of the teaser info is just plain silly. deg |

Is there any place on that page where he says he will send you a book? I don't think there is a book. I remember something from maybe 2 years ago that I think was this exact "resource". It wasn't a book, it was going to come as an attachment to an e-mail. What a deal. You'll learn a lot more by just hanging around here and we don't charge you anything. Steve |

Jerry...not affiliated with the website at all. Just a newbie to these
beautiful plants and when I did a Yahoo search on "growing orchids", that was one of the sites that popped up. Like Dewitt said in her response to me it sounded like a bad infomercial...guaranteed not to rust, bust, rip, tear, peel or leak on your leg in warm weather. And if you order this book before midnite tonite, you will receive absolutely free a full set of Ginsu knives, a bamboo steamer and a mood ring... |

And another Offer for an e-book (no mention of Ginsu knives - shucks! That would have made me order it!) http://www.orchidguidebook.com/ -- Reka This is LIFE! It's not a rehearsal. Don't miss it! http://www.rolbox.it/hukari/index.html |
