for those of you in the midlantic who don't get the AOS mag, the smithsonian orchid collection is getting kicked out of their greenhouses in october. they're looking for people to babysit their orchids until the new GH is ready, sometime in '08. they'd prefer to keep the various sub groups together (the example used was 150 species of bulbos. now WHY on earth would anyone want 150 species of bulbos? ! ;-) even when they put bulbos in the annual orchid show, they keep them in glass cases (thank the flying spaghetti monster...)
anyway, i can dig out the email of the guy in charge if anyone wants it.
