Disease symptoms on Phalaenopsis- and (upcoming) lab-confirmed diagnosis

To what lab did you send your samples? If it was Critter Creek then I strong urge a second opinion.

John must have been having a "low biorhythm day". Missed that fact that Camille is in Holland, and your gender.

Relatively speaking, those are minor mental glitches. The REAL faux pas - one I have a avoided, but did get to witness once - is commenting on a woman's pregnancy when it's actually just extra pounds.

At one place I worked a lady had delivered her baby several weeks earlier. A male co-worker who wasn't in the department often asked when she was due. That was a mistake.

It's the lab at the place where I work, which is pretty much the Dutch equivalent of the USDA. It's the go-to lab for the seed and horticulture industry in the Netherlands, and all samples are tested in duplicate or triplicate. There are so many controls in place when running the tests that false positives/negatives are very rare. My job here is to help develop disease screening tests, so I'm pretty confident in the results.
