Featured this month

Jim Cootes continues his series on the genus Dendrobium with Part 18: Dendrobium sections Bolbodium, Brevisaccata and Microphytanthe; three small sections with only a few species each. Tim Culbertson astounds us with the lavishly illustrated second part of his articles on breeding in the Pescatoria Alliance. Steve Gonzalez treats us to his firsthand experiences with orchid growers in Portugal and Julian Shaw introduces us to Thomas W. Briscoe, the overlooked man who filled the nine-year gap between Seden's retirement from Veitch's Nursery and its sale.
