I haven't tried any club mosses,,,, but i still maintain, if you can get live sphagnum that seems to work very well... and has been proven by orchid people.... heck we have all used it dry just because of its properties...

Linus-Cello No.... had to work so couldn't make AGA....

As someone may have mentioned earlier, there are a few companies, selling Tissue cultured moss species, which are by far the way to go, unless you know someone that is actually growing "clean" plants. I have worked hard to start with properly named species, but so often in the aquarium world...

Linus: can you give me any details on who when the recordings will be available to registrants? in particular, i want to delve into Ivan's lecture and hoping there are pics he used in his talk on Equagenera Phrags.. thanks

Skoester: my understanding is that they did in fact record the talks but i think you have to be registered to have access to the recordings.. and not sure when they are sending out links to the regd peeps.

NY eric Oh my god there were besseae flasks everywhere!!!!! couple selling for $25 bucks for flask with 20 seedlings...... You better move it....... :o) Mwa ha ha...... no no bessys but there were some decent deals.. and the talks were good...

Eric: what is the name of the Vendor from Thailand? wonder if they will be at other shows coming up???

Really sad that we only found out just now (jan 9th) for events vendors Equagenera's deadline for orders was Jan 5..... (will contact them directly but not so warm and fuzzy about that) haven't checked the others..., but I will do so....

Linus: any ideas on vendors.... really nice to try to do some pre-orders ahead of time.... thanks
