Gareth, is it clear enough that the ''Characteristics that are always present include:''  do not really are "always" present in every orchid? Each orchid has just some of them. (or many, or all, it varies)  Maybe just three quarters have them all. Other thing, possibly the last item on the list that talks about life spam, would be a paragraph and not an item as I did. I don't change to avoid conflict of editing. [[User:Dalton Holland Baptista|Dalton Holland Baptista]] 15:22, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

: Hi thanks Dalton, I'm taking a break now. Please correct anything I've got wrong or change anything you don't like without hesitation - you're the orchid expert here not me. I see what you're saying above and will try to get that right later.[[User:Gareth Leng|Gareth Leng]] 17:04, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

Re originality

Hi guys--I reviewed this with respect to content on the English language WP, and it seems fine to me, i.e. not lifted.

I can't compare it to the German WP, Dalton, because I don't read German.

I'll be happy to give the grammar a once-over during the course of the day Aleta Curry 23:54, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

Well done

Nice to see this developing so well. I'll be pleased to help with the copyediting too.Gareth Leng 22:51, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

Super, Gareth! I really appreciate all the help I can get with the final proofreading. It is good that you guys are taking turns to help me, lol. Sometimes the text gets confusing and sometimes unfortunately the meaning is not clear enough. I guess just a few days more and it will be finished. I just need to add a couple of extra photos and complete the text of two sections: morphology and taxonomy. Then we will get rid of wikipedia note at the bottom. I'll let you know. Thank you!
