Re: "OT-BIO: ", Richard Johnson

Hi Adm:

I will do as you have suggested.  I wasn't quite aware I could
access the archives.  Using Google I have found several
references to growing in pots, and as I mentioned, one provided a
recommended potting mix which is a difficult one for me to repeat
here in Tahiti where I live.  Tahiti is unlike Florida in that
Florida does get some few days down to freezing while we never
get lower than 65 F.  However, as I've mentioned, I've a
refrigerator just for that purpose, i.e., initiating the blooms
sequence by cooling the rhizomes for the recommended time.

Thanks for you info.

Warmest Regards

Dick Johnson, Tahiti
