Dear Pieter, Can you please e-mail me the article on Zambians addiction for orchid tubers. My passion is orchids and I currently chair the Indian Subcontinent Regional Orchid Specialist Group for the IUCN/SSC. Many of our orchid species are also over used in drugs and other ayurvedic preparations. While orchids are my passion we love the Amaryllids and that is how I come to join the group. Scadoxus multiflorus is grown in our area in large numbers from the introductions that my grandparents made way back in early 1900's. I am thoroughly enjoying the postings. I would love to receive any news on Worlseya rayneri and look for seeds of all South African Amaryllids. Warm regards from the Himalayas. Udai Udai C. Pradhan Abhijit Villa P.O.
