Okay, that's 3 not-so-happy comments on Orchids In Our Tropics...I'm going to remove them from the list.

I really like Laelia perrinii coerulea at Paramount Orchids. The listing for it on Clouds' site says that it is a compact form, and apparently it is fragrant too.

Thanks for removing them, Sue.

There is a couple pictures of Paph wardii here:Slipper Orchids It is availible at Clouds, but I'm not sure about the availibility other places.

I remember that Paph. primulinum var. purpurescens was also mentioned last Sun. I'm not sure what other people thought of this one, I liked it. It's on Paramount's Species list here: Species

Is it too late to get in on this Sue? What have we got it narrowed down to or are you still working on it?

[cb977]

You're in, Hugh!!!
Still working on it...join us in chat

Funny....I know Doug and Terry (Orchids in Our Tropics)and have had nothing but luck with their plants. I find them both nice people as well. 'Guess everyone has different experiences though.

Anyhow....as long as people are stating their vendor preference, I'd like to say that I have had not so good luck with Paramount. I don't want to diss them but would prefer to order elsewhere. (sorry....ducking for cover. )

Clouds though is super.

Keep in mind that we got Angraecum scottianum for the project plant last time.

OMG! based on the project 2 list, how did you ever widdle it down to just a few choices? Our project 3 list is already mind-boggling and I'm sure we will have more added yet!

One thing to keep in mind is that The Orchid Shop may be able to track down some of our choices that are currently not offered at Paramount, Clouds or Orchids in our Tropics (this aimed at the Canadian participants)

I have a leptotes bicolor (bought from J & L who is a great vendor BTW). Tiny little thing with two flowers.
