Summer Project, 2011 (Intermediate) - Project Plant Suggestions

[FairyInTheFlowers]

This is the plant suggestion post for the Summer Project, 2011. The criterion are as follows:

1. Plant must be a species, but not one that is known to be difficult.

2. Around $40 CAN (due to the normally higher prices of orchids in Canada)

3. A blooming sized plant should be about 12" or smaller, without the blooms.

4. A cool-intermediate to warm-intermediate grower. Or no cooler growing than 17C/62F nights, and not growing warmer that 25C/77F days.

5. Plant MUST be available in Canada.

6. Blooming or near blooming sized in countries participating.

To help you along, here are some Canadian vendors (once again, I am sorry for making this look sort of noninclusive to some people, but I am trying to make it as best as possible!)
