Some good advice from Nancy above about joining an orchid society and sucking up. Golden Tang was registered by H & R in 1989 and that is why you would be lucky to find one at an orchid nursery where they are always trying to keep their stock up to date. Interesting that Jane said she had trouble with it in New York. Easy here, but maybe more difficult in some other climates. Perhaps the B. nodosa parent is the problem. Here are a couple of seedlings from the local orchid society gallery. Carmen and Peggy were Novice growers till recently. It is a nice orchid, but I wouldn�t be offering to pay mega bucks for one.

Guerrero Rose Farm in Ontario is pretty good about letting you know on the phone if they have the roses on your list before making the drive over there. They are on Euclid off the 60 or the 10, not too far from you I think. (909)988-0015

you'll be surprised what you can find on the www if you just look.

Northland Rosarium did indeed ask me, and I told them they could use any of my pics, I’m glad to see a few of my pic on their website. Another small rose seller used a few of my HMF pictures without asking. It doesn’t bother me too much persomally, but would have been better if they asked for permission. I’m a bit cautious about ordering from Garden Roses LLC, but I did go ahead and order 3 plants, not enough to be really upset if they don’t come through. Nate did just send an email about their inventory of some high demand varieties being out of stock(Evelyn, Abe etc), so it really does look like he is keeping tabs. I hope it’s a good experience for all.
