Is this a spike on this Phal?

I guess topiary doesn't quite get the point. I don't have to site anything. I just grow orchids, not write or site papers to satisfy my or anyone else's ego. I don't have to satisfy anything. Take it up with PhD's. I'm not interested in debating someone who hasn't proven anything by deed. I just grow, and flower, orchids. In season and out. And there are many diseases of orchids in Taiwan. Not the issue. But not in topiary's beloved PhD's GH setting. That's the point. Growing and flowering orchids full of disease successfully in a not so benign setting is not nearly a easy as growing and flowering orchids in a controlled environment. So now you can go and find someone else to have a play date with. I'm finished. Time for a beer.

Thank you
Skycat - congrats on your spike!

Hi Sonya, this is not discussing our general routine growing. James is denying a paper that came from a University and published on magazine. Till now, I did not say that James is wrong, but if you want to challenge a theory like that, there must be some official papers and evidences to support it, isn’t it?

You are still dodging the question.
