A very nice message that everyone here at aleyagarden appreciates ( like all messages received so far by the way ...)

Comment by aleyagarden : this quick parcel ( EMS ) to a city in Switzerland was posted on Tuesday 10 May at 16 : 26 Swiss time and was delivered on Thursday 12 May at around 9 : 00.

So it clearly took less than 24 hours for the parcel to arrive at the post office and be ready for the morning delivery ! Postal parcel travel on the next passenger flight, whatever the day of the week, they don't wait for the departure of non daily cargo planes and may be delivered surprisingly fast sometimes !

Hoya seeds : beneficial fungi or lethal infections

The viability of many seeds of Hoya decreases quickly after one month out of their pods. Ideally Hoya seeds should be planted not later than 15 days after harvest. Due to this fast reduction of viability, they are particularly subject in environments excessively moist and poorly aerated to a variety of fungal attacks ( but immediately planted in closed humid zip bags off light their germination ratios are very high after 15 days in these conditions ) : wet environments with light may cause weak germination and also affect the seedlings, causing slow growth and death. Signs of the diseases include withering, yellow or blotchy leaves, rot or mold at the base of the stem, root rot.

Some fungi, called endophytic fungi, may have beneficial effects on the germination of the seeds in particular when they were transmitted by the parent plants - this is why using a sterilized soiless medium should be prefered to using a fungicide.

A study http://www.fungaldiversity.org/fdp/sfdp/33-3.pdf on endophytic fungi has exhibited on Hoya carnosa plants  29 fungal species among the following taxons : Colletotrichum spp, Fusarium spp, Gliocladium sp, Micelia sterilia spp, Phomopsis spp, Xylariales spp.

Host - endophyte relationship based on plant chemistry is a promising field of studies.

Express service for envelopes to Brazil

Is there an express service like EMS for envelopes to Brazil ?
Yes EMS document, but it is expensive.
Please click on the picture to see all the available options for a 135 gr content. The Additional column is for additional registration.

In September 2011 it would cost 900 + registration 65 THB to send an EMS envelope of 135 gr.
At a Paypal rate of 28.6 THB per $ and their 3.5% fee we get : 965/28.6 = 33.75$; x 3.5% = 1.18. Adding a part of the fixed fee of 0.35$ per transaction we get a total of 35$
For the other options the calculation is the same, for instance with Small Parcel Air at 90 THB : 90+65 /28.6, x 3.5% and rounding up to add part of the fixed Paypal fee.
