Exclamation IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR PROJECT FOLKS...REGARDING ANDY'S

IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR ALL:

I just spoke to Andy. He does have enough L reginae for those of us in the U.S. but he suggests we get our orders in right away.

I'm hoping that the few folks who haven't voted yet get it done soon.

Andy says that the fires in California are burning about 12 miles from them and they might get evacuated.

I told him we'll have an answer by tomorrow and I will be calling him to check on their safety tomorrow anyway.

Stay safe! That must be terrifying. We're thinking of all of you, praying for your safety.

I just spent a half hour trying to get to favorite old days web sites that would fill me in (from my Forest Service emplyment days) and everythings clogged up. Sure wish everyone well and get the sprinklers running if you can.

I don't do most Dendros or large, "floofy orchids". For me it's minis (like Angraecoides), Paphs, and others that crept in somewhere along the line. See my orchid list for complete collection (usually not current.)

Stay safe everyone. Been keeping up with the story on the radio last few days.

khill just posted this message in our poll thread, I've copied it here:

I placed my order this morning along with a few traveling companions:

Encyclia radiata
Oncidium fuscatum

I spoke to Harry at Andy's this morning and things are OK with the fires at the moment. The winds are dying down and that should help greatly he said.

My order will ship tomorrow (as I guess they all will). I told him I was involved with the Orchid Board project and he said, if anything changed, they would call all of us.

************************************************** *****************************

So...
get your orders placed today if you'd like to have them by the end of this week!

We'll keep praying that things to continue to get better for our Californian friends
