Elleanthus aurantiacus

Servus! Du hast kürzlich auf der Seite Elleanthus aurantiacus die Fotos File:Elleanthus aurantiacus 0zz.jpg und File:Elleanthus aurantiacus 1zz.jpg eingefügt. Die Pflanze ist offenbar noch nicht voll aufgeblüht, aber nach der hohen Anzahl der Brakteen kann ich mir eigentlich nicht vorstellen, dass das Elleanthus aurantiacus sein kann. Das muss eine andere Art mit sehr zahlreichen, aber viel kleinerern Blüten sein. Die Form der Brakteen ist auch anders. Kannst du dir den Fall noch einmal ansehen? Grüße --Franz Xaver (talk) 15:48, 16 January 2018 (UTC)

Guten Tag Franz, gut, dass Dein fachliches Auge auch hier präsent ist. Ich kann die richtige Bestimmung der Pflanzen nicht bestätigen. Hier, wie leider so oft, habe ich dem Namen des Autors vertraut, der die Bilder in einem botanischen Garten gemacht hat. Der Habitus der Pflanzen scheint Elleanthus zu entsprechen und im knospigen Zustand ist die Wuchsform mit den langen Brakteen bei Elleanthus lupulinus (hier habe ich Literatur aus Kolumbien) ähnlich. Wenn Du keine Einwände hast, werde ich die zwei Bilder zu "Unidentified Elleanthus" plazieren. Grüße. Orchi (talk) 16:32, 16 January 2018 (UTC)

Servus! Nein, da hab ich sicher nichts dagegen, wenn diese Bilder bei den "Unidentified ..." landen. Hätte ich Elleanthus aurantiacus nicht vor kurzem in Kolumbien gesehen, fotografiert und nachbestimmt, dann wäre mir das Problem hier auch nicht aufgefallen. Könnte eventuell Elleanthus longibracteatus so aussehen wie die fragliche Pflanze? --Franz Xaver (talk) 18:58, 16 January 2018 (UTC)

Guten Tag Franz, leider macht mein Computer im Moment nicht das, was ich möchte. Deshalb hier meine späte Antwort. Leider habe ich kein brauchbares Material zur weiteren Bestimmung der zwei fraglichen Bilder finden können. Vielleicht treffe ich mal einen Kenner der Gattung Elleanthus auf einem Treffen der Deutschen Orchideen Gesellschaft. Bis dahin stelle ich die Bilder zu "Unidentified". Grüße.

Caladenia fragrantissima

Hello Orchi,

I'm trying to find as many images of caladenias as possible (and finish writing all the Caladenia articles). I've noticed the image "Caladenia fragrantissima.jpg" on the Caladenia page in Commons. It is not C. fragrantissima (as Gnangarra admits), because the photo was taken in Western Australia and C. fragrantissima does not occur in that state. The image is almost certainly C. longicauda. (Can't tell which subspecies without measurements etc.) Of course, I could take the image down myself, but I think of the page as your "baby". Thanks for all your brilliant work in Commons and Wikispecies, as well as fixing my blunders in Wikipedia. Gderrin (talk) 09:36, 11 February 2018 (UTC)

Dear Gderrin

thank you for your careful attention. I know, I can trust on you for all questions about the Australian orchids. What stays for me is the technical implementation in Commons and Wikispecies for „our babies“.

Best greetings. Orchi (talk) 12:12, 11 February 2018 (UTC)

__NOTOC__

Hi Orchi, with this edit you added __NOTOC__. Could you please tell me what it is needed for. I saw it in many of those gallery pages but do not see a difference with or without it. Regards, --Arnd (talk) 09:21, 4 March 2018 (UTC)

Hallo Arnd (Aschroet), bei den von Dir zitierten Seiten hast Du natürlich recht. Es gibt keinen Unterschied. Bei Gestaltung von Seiten mit Sortierung nach Gesamtpflanze, Blütenstand, Blüten, Blätterm etc., auch mit wenigen Bildern, habe ich mit einem fertigen copy and paste - Link gearbeitet. Beim Öffnen der Seiten kann man so nicht nur Texte, sondern sofort auch Bilder sehen. Ich nehme Deinen Vorschlag aber gerne an und werde bei der Neugestaltung von Seiten mit wenigen Bildern anders verfahren. Ich grüße aus dem Saarland in das schöne Thüringen mit seinen großartigen Orchideenvorkommen. (Deshalb ist Arnstadt auch der jährliche Tagungs - Treffpunkt aller deutschen "Arbeitskreise Heimischer Orchideen"). Alles Gute. Orchi (talk) 14:41, 4 March 2018 (UTC)

Hallo Orchi, ich wohnte einmal nebem dem Gottesholz. Bin aber leider kein Naturkenner. Kann ich dann die NOTOCs rauswerfen? Ich mache nämlich hier den Putzerfisch. ;-) --Arnd (talk) 19:14, 8 March 2018 (UTC)

...ich wäre nicht begeistert. Setze es nur noch gezielt ein. Grüße Orchi (talk) 19:19, 8 March 2018 (UTC)

Orchid Albums!!!

I am deeply sorry that it took so long to upload these. There are reasons, mostly that I had hoped to upload them via script.

Some of the images you moved into Category:Retouched pictures -The Orchid Album (1882) have been "touched less" than files you left there. For instance:

• 
  lossless png version of original scan
• 
  lossy jpeg rendered using some quality setting by TIA software

In the old days, before Flickr and en.wikipedia took over, the jpg might have been deleted as the png is the same thing but more befitting of the commons standards.

If there are any that need color adjustments (I saw at least one that I made too purple compared to photographs, for instance) please let me know!! --RaboKarbakian (talk) 17:34, 6 March 2018 (UTC)

....I think you work perfect. Orchi (talk) 18:57, 6 March 2018 (UTC)

They are beautiful, I have to agree, but once the WOW is over, I suspect you will find some that could use improvement. I can make categories; I just wanted to be certain that we agreed about them. Thanks for the barnstar! --RaboKarbakian (talk) 02:30, 7 March 2018 (UTC)

That is the end of the uploads for now. Album 4 is only partially corrected here. --RaboKarbakian (talk) 16:44, 9 March 2018 (UTC)

Diuris carinata

Hello Orchi, I am afraid that the image "Diuris 03 gnangarra.jpg" is almost certainly not Diuris carinata. I've told the original uploader Gnangarra and he agrees it is probably Diuris corymbosa (which does not look like a bee). I will try to take a photo of D. carinata later this year. Gderrin (talk) 04:20, 25 March 2018 (UTC)

Hello Gderrin, thanks for your changes. I put the two pictures to "Unidentified Diuris" until you are sure to know the correct name. Best greetings. Orchi (talk) 20:17, 25 March 2018 (UTC)

Thanks Orchi. It is often easy to tell what an orchid is not, difficult to say what it is. (This one is certainly not D. carinata - it may be D. corymbosa.) Gderrin (talk) 23:31, 25 March 2018 (UTC)

Chiloglottis reflexa or Chiloglottis diphylla

Hello Orchi,

I keep finding your amazing work on Wikimedia Commons and Wikispecies. I think you must work 24 hours every day. But! I have a problem with the images labelled Chiloglottis reflexa. Ferdinand Bauer's drawing is labelled Chiloglottis diphylla and that's what it looks like to me. Also the two images uploaded from Flickr were labelled Chiloglottis dipylla and they look like Bauer's drawing. They also look like the orchids at RBGS The image I uploaded today fits the description of C. reflexa much better. (Shorter later sepals, thread-like glands on the callus.) I think the other three are all the common wasp orchid, C. diphylla. My very best wishes to you. Gderrin (talk) 12:40, 22 April 2018 (UTC)

Hello Gderrin, you're right. I hope, I changed Chiloglottis reflexa and Chiloglottis diphylla correct. KEW saw Chiloglottis diphylla as a synonym of Chiloglottis reflexa [1]. Unfortunately, KEW does not set a date for changes (like in Wikispecies e.g.: Accessed: 2018 April 22.)

The last two weeks I have vacationed (with me: only a little, very slow working netbook). For the last pictures of you, I will create the articles in the next few days. Best greetings. Orchi (talk) 21:09, 22 April 2018 (UTC)

Thank you Orchi. Changes look good to me. Sorry about your "vacation". Gderrin (talk) 05:59, 24 April 2018 (UTC)

Category changes

Thanks for narrowing the categories for some of the unidentified orchid pictures I recently uploaded. A couple questions for you:

Are you sure about this one? Only asking because it was right next to a sign that said × Miltonidium, but there were an awful lot of specimens there, so it's possible it was out of place.

For this one, are all of the plants pictured really Phalaenopsis?

Thanks. — Rhododendrites ^talk |  18:21, 16 May 2018 (UTC)

...yes, I only see Phalaenopsis cultivars (but I did not look at every single flower here . Orchi (talk) 18:32, 16 May 2018 (UTC)

Unidentified Orchidaceae

Hi Orchi, can you help me with identification of Orchidaceae species? I just loaded a few photos of orchids:

• 
  1
• 
  2
• 
  3
• 
  4
• 
  5
• 
  6

Thanks in advance and have a nice day! Tournasol7 (talk) 13:43, 31 May 2018 (UTC)

Salu Tournasol7, number 1 and 6 follow. (Hybrids??). Greetings. Orchi (talk) 14:58, 31 May 2018 (UTC)

Thank you very much Orchi. 1 and 6 are hybrids? maybe, but it grow in your natural habitat. Tournasol7 (talk) 17:46, 31 May 2018 (UTC)

...not garden artifical hybrids! Orchi (talk) 17:51, 31 May 2018 (UTC)

Ok, in this case I will leave it under the name unidentified. Tournasol7 (talk) 17:58, 31 May 2018 (UTC)

....please give me a lttle time. Orchi (talk) 18:10, 31 May 2018 (UTC)

ok, don't worry, we have a time ;) Tournasol7 (talk) 18:14, 31 May 2018 (UTC)

Ancistrochilus thomsonianus

Hello there! I'm curious where you took that fabulous picture of this species. I've been searching 10 years for this species, and want to make connections with people who are growing it successfully. Thank you! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Xmpraedicta (talk • contribs) 02:48, 16 July 2018 (UTC)

... unfortunately I do not remember, on which exhibition I photographed these pictures. Best greetings. Orchi (talk) 14:08, 16 July 2018 (UTC)

Category:Ophrys holoserica

Hi. I saw that you've reverted Pi bot (talk · contribs)'s edit to add {{Wikidata Infobox}} at Category:Ophrys holoserica a few times. If you can add {{Taxonavigation}} to that page, then the bot will no longer try to add the infobox to it. Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 08:17, 18 July 2018 (UTC)

Ah, unless it's because the infobox belongs at Category:Ophrys fuciflora instead? I've changed the sitelink on Wikidata, so the bot will add it to that category in the future (unless taxonavigation is present). Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 08:19, 18 July 2018 (UTC)

....the reason was the Ophrys fuciflora - Wikidata Infobox. There is an separate Ophrys holoserica - page in Wikidata. Greetings. Orchi (talk) 11:33, 18 July 2018 (UTC)

Paxtonian Plant-house

I was searching for more places for this beauty and found an orchid journal which I had to just stop looking at. I was thinking that you might appreciate it, but dropping it here will probably appreciate it greatly in other ways. --RaboKarbakian (talk) 17:13, 28 August 2018 (UTC)

Flora of Antarctica

I am encountering a namespace problem with the plates. Wikisourcerers have created namespaces for the plates. Flora Antarctica Plate VII.jpg etc. I wouldn't have used that name. I use a shortened version of the name of the publication the image came from -- and I am going to run into problems with my method when different scans of the same version occur.

I am thinking about requesting that the names be changed and thought I would come here and learn your thoughts about it.--RaboKarbakian (talk) 16:28, 24 September 2018 (UTC)

Hello RaboKarbakian,

unfortunately, I do not know the valid name of the plant "Flora Antarctica Plate VII".

Maybe look here once: [2]

Best greetings. Orchi (talk) 16:51, 24 September 2018 (UTC)

Duplicate tagging

Hello! Regarding your tagging of File:Contributions du Jardin botanique de Rio de Janeiro (1901) (20686134675).jpg as a duplicate, I have removed this tag and restored the description page. Duplicate images should only be tagged as such if they are actually exact or scaled down. This image was cropped to remove the captioning and some of the border, and was much higher in resolution than the other version. Also, when tagging as duplicate, please do not blank the description pages. When duplicates are being processed, leaving that information intact allows the admin to merge any useful information to the target location. Let me know if you have any questions regarding the duplicate tagging process. Thank you! — Huntster (t @ c) 19:01, 30 November 2018 (UTC)
