Pleurothallid-l mailing list

["Aaron Tester-Hall" <nhorchidguy@hotmail.com>]

Zdravstvuite!  Hello...

I just joined the mailing list and thought I should introduce myself.  My 
name is Aaronm from New Hampshire USA.  I have been searching out 
information on Pleurothallids online now for quite some time and luckily I 
stumbled across this group.

My orchid collection is primarily in Pleurothallids, though I also have a 
couple Paphs, Phals, Brassia and a few Dendrobiums, but absolutely fell head 
over heels for the miniature Pleuros almost a year ago.  I mostly have 
Restrepia (I just got my trichogolossa to bloom) and Ancipitias.  I am 
currently working on a Masdevallia flasking project with a member from 
another orchid group.  I have one flasking project underway with Laelia 
anceps and Encyclia adenocuale, they are just getting to the point where 
they are developing roots.

I work primarily with species plants, but don't turn my nose up at hybrids.

I am contemplating pollinating my Res, trichogolossa but haven't the 
foggiest on how to actually proceed with such a minute proceedure.  I'm 
hoping to learn alot from you folks.

Beyond my orchid hobby, its the norm...I work for the State Dept as a 
Passport Specialist, fly fish when the season is right, fly-tying when the 
season isn't.

Aaron
