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.

I live between the fires and Andys and it is getting pretty bad here with the smoke and the wind.I will wait until tomorow to order to make sure that everything is well. I wish everone at Andys my best.

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 just sent an email to Harry and Andy to check on them. I'll post again when I hear back.

Please do, Sue - I'll wait until I hear from you before I order ... :)

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 :pray:

I just got off the phone with Andy, he was prepareing the orders for shippment, I placed my order and arranged it so that I could pick them up on Thursday.
Traveling companion
Maxillaria uncata

Just a update on the fire, unless the wind makes a drastic change in direction, Andys is safe, the fire close to me is undercontol but we are still watching and are prepared

just a side note for those who voted for Phal.lindii, myself included, Andy informed me that he knows of only 1 person to successfuly grow it.
