Suggestion!
Hi Marty -Could not find a link direct to you, so....
I think the forum division into plant alliances is a fine idea - could I suggest adding 'Miniatures' as a separate category?
Thanks - Nancy

Now thats what I call thinking! I love miniatures and would love to be able to find them all in one place!
P.S., had to move the post to forum feedback section. It will get more attention here  .

Nancy, you can click on the Contact Us link on the bottom of most pages of the OB or you could send a Private Message to him also. He will see it here too, in Forum Feedback.
My 2¢....
There are minatures that exist in many of the different orchid alliances, wouldn't this cause some confusion as to where to post. Example: I have Tolumnia triquetrum, want to discuss it's culture......should I post in Oncidium/Odontoglossum Alliance or the Miniature forum? The same problem could exist when looking for info on it or any other mini.

It's great to get suggestions from our members and they are welcomed...but I happen to agree with Dave on this one. There are miniatures in most of the alliances (at least as far as I know of ). I think it's best to leave the mini's in their alliance sections...but who am I?

Ahhhhh............., I suppose I'll have to throw my weight around here and bribe Marty.
"Hey Marty, if you create this section, I will buy a misting Nozzle from you."
I guess you guys are right. But it would have been fun to see post after post after post of nothing but mini's rather than waiting around for the occasional post in the other forums, and then not remembering who was a mini, and who was not.
 How about us Moderators go around putting (MINI) on the titles of all the threads that have a Mini orchid pictured in that thread, regardless of where it shows up.

But, but, but - some of us are obsessed with miniatures. In a separate forum, we could wax poetic with like-minded - uh - enthusiasts (as opposed to nuts).
Cheers - Nancy

Fine..... Then I am the Mini Moderator, since no one else seems to be caring enough to do it.
