November issue of Martha Stewart Living. Click the magazine cover to see
the featured orchid and order it if you like.
Thought you might like to see a recent pictures of the puppies. Kona on
the left with a bone in his mouth is 22 months old and Pali on the right
is 8 months old. Pali has exceeded Kona in height and weight already. No
idea of Pali's current weight but it's a little scary to think what he
is going to weigh when full grown.
Had to show you a few
specimen plants that are blooming in the greenhouses right now. The Epi.
porpax is a full cone shaped plant with hundreds of flowers all around.
The In-Charm Grace is not a specimen plant but was an eye catcher
because of its size and form.
Epi porpax v. alba

biosphere, you should check out the ACEER website above. Simply click on the
banner. They are dedicated to three strategic initiatives: 1) Building
Strategic Partneships, 2) Transformational learning, 3) Sustaining the
Earth. They have scheduled another workshop entitled "Orchids of Peru"
like the one that I lead last November. Unfortunately I will not be leading it this
year but it is well worth the time and money. Click
