Hi everybody...to lessen the confusion with all the separate threads, Dorothy has closed all others and directed them to this one.

To answer your questions:

Adam,
Soph coccinea is a beauty. The size and temp range fit for the project too. Now we'll have to see if it's available in the US, Europe and Canada. If it's readily available in all three, I'll add it to the list.
Here's some additional info on it:
Orchids of Brazil. Brazilian orchids

*In searching for this one, I've found it at a few US vendors...and it's much more expensive than we usually try to get the project plants for. It's $45 at New World and $100 at J&L!
I'll keep looking

mrobert,
I love that first suggestion of yours:

...Dendrobium dichaeoides. If it's readily available, I'll add it.

...D. bellatulum is lovely...if we can get it, I'll add it to the list.
*available in US and Europe...Canada?

...Den williamsonii is another we need to check availability for.
*available in US and Europe...Canada?

...Den jenksensii is a version of Den aggregatum which is considered a warm grower (also on the lower part of revised list)

...Den rigidum doesn't work as it's a warm grower (it's on the lower part of the revised list)


Welcome back, Ramon
