Yep, you spotted the deliberate mistake. I did mean P gypicola (I was
still suffering from seasonal celebrations!).
As to P alfredae needing high pH, I didn't know that!!! Maybe I can
improve my success with it and send you some.

Fine, I can wait. Looks like you got lots of interest going - a group
would be cheap(ish). As to spanish - I can't speak it either but being
in a foreign country without the benefit of their language never caused

See yousometime.
