2017/11 November ORCHIDS Magazine

Fusarium - everyone's boogieman! Sue Bottom devotes her monthly column to this disease in phalaenopsis - what it looks like, how it spreads, how to control it and how not to ignore it. Ever want to try your hand at hybridizing? Tom McClellan reports on a couple of his successes.

Any antelope lovers out there? Harry Gallis fills us in on his twisted passion and Hideka Kobayashi sheds light on some of the many errors and myths surrounding Vanda (Neofinetia) falcata. Just what is Fûkiran? Most of us belong to local orchids societies and if you don't, you'll want to read Jay Loeffler's article on his extended orchid family - the Venice Area Orchid Society.
