2 years ago I began using my sbcglobal.net address, my old dataflo.net address stopped working as of 4/1/08. If you get no response or a bounce message, please click on the java script that will assemble the sbcglobal address or type LeosOrchids and then follow that by the current ISP. Forgive the cryptic wording but I don't want the spam bots to be able to harvest my email off this page. The change has hugely cut the amount of spam I get.

My next speaking engagement will be the FGG meeting on July 20.

I will be bringing a few 'Ever Blooming' orchids to this meeting. The selection will include Psychopsis, Broughtonia, a few Phalaenopsis, sequential Paphs and Phrags. For bamboo I will be bringing several divisions of the Dwarf Greenstriped Bamboo (Pleioblastus viridi-striata). I am currently out of stock on the taller varieties, I will try to dig a few new divisions before the meeting.

How about a Miltoniopsis, just finished blooming, reduced prices on For Sale page, 7/5/08 blooming size Paph rothschildianum are sold out.

Purple Clay Pottery

Five years ago I began testing a few orchids in YiXing Pottery imported from China by the good folks at Purple Clay. I liked the results so well that I am now a sales representative for Purple Clay Pottery, retail and wholesale. If you are interested please check out the products available at the Purple Clay web site. Over the last 5 years many plants of my reserve collection have been moved into YiXing pottery. An article will be soon to follow. I have a number of pieces in stock at my home. My prices are identical to the Purple Clay Website prices. If you will be seeing me somewhere, ask me to bring along your selections.

Having a Web Site means you are never caught up, and will never have free time again.
