Phrag Survey for Phipps Conservatory (Pittsburgh)

The Phipps Conservatory in Pittsburgh is trying to determine which phrags to obtain for its collection. To assist, Demetria Marsh produced a survey that asks which 1 or 2 phrags were the most significant for the decade, and asks respondents to explain why. Demetria asked folks at the Paph Forum to fill out the survey, and I offered to make this survey available to folks on ST.

As an incentive to fill out the phrag survey, Demetria has the results of a similar survey for paphs. So if you are willing to fill out the phrag survey (and send your responses to her) and want a copy of the results of the paph survey, pm me your address and I'll forward you her email with the phrag survey, and the paph survey result.

Thanks for your interest!

They are interested in hybrids (this is why I shouldn't post late at night). So which KV hybrid for 2000-2010? FS? EA? Are you interested in doing the survey Elmer? Similarly, for 1990-2000, 1980-1990, etc.

Oh; actually I'm Charles, live in Elmer nj

I could check the survey out though my phrag experience is pretty limited

Phrag. besseae without a doubt

Besseae and kovachii both!

I agree, without the besseae many peoples would not even collecting phrags . Secondly , kovachii hybrids still need besseae in them to be nice , where as hybrids with besseae by themselves are nice before adding any kovachii in.

Agree! They are also the two most popularly hybridized.

Please help Demetria and Phipps Conservatory. Pm your email to me to fill out the survey from them.

Linus, after the survey is done, what do we do with it, snail mail?

Yes, snail mail is an option. Probably easier is to fill it out in excel and email it to Demetria.

Never mind I found it. Also, do we have to pick 2? there is a period there where I don't think any of the choices are good.

I think I chose only 1 for one period.

OK, thanks.

Bump. Demetria would be delighted to get feedback/survey information from European growers also! I guess you can PM Linus w/ your email addresses if interested, thank you.
