    I can't imagine something being much more red. or, to steal from spinal tap, "the answer is none. none is more red."

    Beer of the day

    I'm on a new personal quest to drink every different kind of beer I can find. So each time I buy beer, it has to be something I haven't ever tried before (provided it's available, that is). Should take me a good year before I even exhaust the supermarket selections.

    the most manly of tools

    real men use hand tools. I have a 5 lb pick mattock for the garden--now that's a manly tool!

    Alba breeding questions.....

    I stand corrected. I had remembered things wrong regarding achondroplasia, and reviewed the texts, and you're both right. however, the cause of death in homozygotes with achondroplasia is listed as thoracic constriction, not skull problems. however, the leading cause of death among young...

    Alba breeding questions.....

    marco, the answers to your questions are no, yes, no. but to expand, flower color, like most other aspects of phenotype, is not monogenic, nor is it inherited in a purely Mendelian fashion. this leads to occasional frustrations for breeders, as efforts to make an aesthetic, desirable cross...

    Puzzler

    the trouble with all of this is that many species have significant genetic variability within them. this is especially apparent in the slippers since they can't be cloned, so you can't control completely the genes which are inherited. and the trouble with clonal names is that they really can...

    Our aquisitions from J&L today

    when I got my sedirea a few months ago, I was told by the vendor to treat it just like a phal, but that it would also tolerate more light if I so desired. so far it's doing well.

    Blc Apolo Moon 'Nana' and Sedirea japonica

    to me the scent of the sedirea is more spicy/sweet than citrusy. but I agree, it's a great fragrance! fills the room despite it being a tiny plant.

    Chuck Acker has another sale going on

    candace, whatever. I'm not discussing this any more. tadd, grandma, you have private messages. I'm in for 5 plants, I just can't take them until a few weeks from now. see your messages for details.

    Chuck Acker has another sale going on

    Devil Fire is the one I want least. I sent Chuck Acker an email today asking if I could place an order for later delivery. I think between TADD, Grandma M, and me, we would have more than enough for a 20 plant minimum, especially if Grandma M is placing her order right now. :D anyway...

    Chuck Acker has another sale going on

    I can think of lots of ways, and yes, I know I'm not trusting. :evil: For instance, say 5 people claim to want in, so I collect money from 4 of them, but the 5th doesn't contribute, so now either everyone else has to make up for it or the order doesn't go through. And of course, this would...

    Chuck Acker has another sale going on

    forgive me for being jaded, but that seems like the way to get left holding the bag. what would work better would be if everyone sent their share of the money to chuck, and then he'd send out the small orders to the individuals. but I don't know if he would do that, since it somewhat...

    Chuck Acker has another sale going on

    I'm also in the want a few, but not 20 boat. does anyone know if he would split an order between 2-3 people? I really only want one of each plant, and not even necessarily all of the ones listed...

    Ludisia discolor and Macodes petola

    Two fine examples of what Littlefrog Rob has to offer. I got these from him in November, and they seem to be enjoying themselves! Here's what they looked like when I got them:

    Free PrimeAgra

    Lance, are you giving up on s/h? If you can wait 3 weeks, I'll take some off your hands, but I can't take it until then, because we're moving soon and I refuse to transport rocks if I don't have to.

    Blc Apolo Moon 'Nana' and Sedirea japonica

    Two fun and very fragrant ones. My mother-in-law bought these for me last week at Hoosier Orchids when we visited them (they live a few miles away from Hoosier). As you can tell, I have a great mother-in-law. :)

    Phrag. Robert C Silich

    :drool: :drool: :drool: Rob, you continue to outdo yourself! I don't suppose you have any of these for sale yet, do you? oh and by the way, I'm still waiting on those pink panthers you said would be ready this summer. ;) edit: let me get this straight. robert c silich = Jason Fischer...
