2 Questions

[billc]

Hi, I have two questions.
1- What does NOID mean, maybe no identity?
2- Does anyone know the name of the plant in First Ray's avatar ?

Thanks, Bill

Number 1 is correct! No ID.

Number 2, Ray will have to answer.

NOID = No Identification.

Not sure about Ray's avatar. It looks like a Bc. of some kind.

It's Encyclia bractescens - http://www.firstrays.com/Pictures_or...ns%20CLOSE.jpg

Thanks. While there are many beautiful pictures in the galleries and the avatars, that one just strikes me. That's one of the dangers in looking at orchids- You see one you like and next thing you know, it's in your house.

Ain't that the truth!

[Ray]

Yeah, that's a particularly nice red for bractescens - most are muddier. Here's the whole plant in a 6" basket:

When Prem Subrahmanyam (Prem Subrahmanyam Graphic Design, Tallahassee, Florida - animation, web design, computer programming) was developing the new logo graphic for me, he chose that other photo and incorporated it into an otherwise completely computer generated image of a sunrise (first rays - get it?) over mountains protecting a tropical rainforest:

My wife thinks I asked him to simulate breasts, which I didn't, but I'm OK with that!

Oh, the mountains.

Better not say more!!!!!

Breasts! I wasn't trying to simulate breasts...if I had been, I would've done a better job of it
