    Very clear instructions and nice accompanying photos. These types of threads are great! Thanks for taking the time to start this thread.

    Tackiest Garden Ornament Ever!

    I do have preferences it's just that the overall style of your work appeals to me very much while the overall style of Chihuly's works doesn't do anything for me other than leave me scratching my head wondering what these big eyesores are doing smack dab in the middle of peaceful and tranquil...

    Tackiest Garden Ornament Ever!

    Wrong! I've been to your website and I loved your abstracts and I'd certainly find wall space for anything you've got there. You know, send one to me so I can prove it to you. Your pick :drool:, they're all great.

    Chinese Ladybugs

    I thoroughly enjoy sucking those tan little biting buggers up with my shop vac when they begin to "swarm". Then I drop some down the pitchers of my Sarracenia. Yum yum.

    Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful.

    Tackiest Garden Ornament Ever!

    I'm going to have to agree. I first saw his works at Fairchild Gardens I believe. To me, they detracted from the settings in which they were placed and I found them to be agitating. I'd hang one of streetmorrisart's paintings up on any of my walls in a heart beat and I can assure you any...

    Cypripedium tibeticum in situ

    Probably not in one's best interests to contact the bidders.

    Hey! Did anyone else notice that all of yijiawang's photos are appearing again?

    Cypripedium tibeticum in situ

    This was sent to me earlier today, don't know how I missed it- Haven't checked out the above method of contacting eBay yet but looks a lot more promising than that eBay rat maze I ended up in where all I could do was forward the listing number. And Eric, are you trembling in your boots yet...

    I'm desensitized at this point in time. It's gone on far too long and I should have taken the time to track down a means by which to report these types of situations to people who are qualified to investigate them and take appropriate action based on their findings a long time ago.

    Cypripedium tibeticum in situ

    I used eBay's internal report this deal electronic submission form where all one can do is basically provide eBay with the listing number. Rather obstructive system at best (most probably by design) as I believe I had to place the listing number under restricted weeds as there was no appropriate...

    Bingo, don't have the appropriate permits and sooner or later it's going to bite you in the butt. Unfortunately, the percentage of illegal shipments being intercepted hasn't climbed quite high enough yet to be an effective deterrent as of yet. I suppose some out there are rewarded by that one...

    Cypripedium tibeticum in situ

    Yup, they're evidently one in the same. I saved my e-mail correspondences. I contacted the seller because I do have the appropriate permits to be able to import that plant. To be quite honest, I figured I'd buy it and donate it to the local college rather than risk it possibly being shipped with...

    A photo of C. arietinum in situ

    Umm, I'm using vinegar water on my newly planted C. acaule that I have in a raised bed outside. I found this online while looking for information on pot culturing orchids that might be of interest to others- http://www.ladyslipper.com/cyppot.htm

    I'm amazed that as of right now, you are the only one who has had the balls to comment. Please know how grateful I am that you have enough vertebrae in your back to do so. I'd check out your links but am not in the mood to do it right now. Perhaps tomorrow. Yes, Japan has begun to take a...

    Cypripedium tibeticum in situ

    Based on the removal of all the photos shared by yijiawang in this thread, I strongly believe my suspicions were correct. I did save a copy of this thread in its entirety along with the photos originally posted as well as a copy of the entire eBay listing in its entirety. Sorry yijiawang, you...

    Ants! OMG!!!!!!!!!!! HELP!

    I find my brains alone, or lack thereof, fail me repeatedly. That's why I always try to tap into other people's brains when ever possible. It's the cost factor and sometimes one needs to find workarounds. It's been a while. Were you able to contact your extension office and if so what did...

    Not so sorry to do this but- I believe canbeijing (the eBay seller listing the plant for sale) = yijiawang (member here). yijiawang, Great plants you photographed from the Sichuan province of China. Is there anything so wrong with people leaving them be when they are found or is the lure...
