Look Frankie, when you actually post something relevant or makes sense, I
will give you any consideration. Until then, you can just sit in the back
row and take notes.

You are right on target about orchid growers, Iris.

They also tend to become more insufferably elitist and arrogant
when
they
congregate "en masse" like a flock of vultures!!! They are
incestuously
social among themselves but extremely antisocial toward other
plant
societies!!!

Sounds like a bunch of hooey.

you can hear more of this from orchid friends, it's their
primary
focus


You are confused. Orchids are generally grown in individual
pots,
grouped
together in a greenhouse or growing area simply for covenience &
control
of
lighting & humidity. Most amateurs have a collection of various
different
orchids. Now when you talk about orchid growers, they have a
very
strong
tendency to congregate in groups, local groups once a month,
national
or
regional groups once a year. Individual growers languish & show
signs
of
severe
depression if they are forced to exist alone. This phenomenon is
found
among
many kinds of growers, not just of orchids.

Oh, dear. What slander. Don't believe anything you read in The Orchid Thief,
and not everything in Orchid Fever, either. Orchid growers are like any other
hobbyists. Some are insufferable egotists & most are perfectly nice, generous
people. I have met both kinds. Many orchid growers also have other plant
addictions, and behave normally in all their clubs. Although some orchid
societies have been known to be elitist, even racist, they are definitely in
the minority. The orchid society where you live has been accused in the past of
being elitist. I don't know if they still are. But you should attend some
orchid meetings in other parts of the country before you pass judgement.

I would say orchid growers are very much elitist and arrogant around here.
At a show and sale they had at the National Arboretum a few years back, one
of the vendors wouldn't even give me any advice on how to grow them until I
bought a plant FIRST. I told the jerk to stuff it. The plants were way
overpriced. Those that had entered plants in their show weren't any better.

The nicer orchid growers are also interested in other plants and there is
one in another plant group I'm in but those who specialize in orchids alone
don't consider any other plant worthy of their consideration.
