Ready....set.....waiting for Go from Sue....lol.

Andy's is not shipping anything at all until they start back up on April 29th...and can you imagine how many orders will be sitting there waiting to go out?

...and what about the option of splitting into two groups? those who want Dendro and those who want Bulbo?

I mean, I have 4 Haraellas growing here, and well.. if it would have been the plant number 1, I would have said, ok, for the project, I'll get a 5th one (they do not that much place anyway), but because of downgrading and downgrading the winner... TBH I rather get Masdevallia pahyura, even if I am the only one who voted for it...

and don't understand me wrong... I think I have expressed my concerns with Dendr tetragonum (considering it too large), but whatever I was going for it anyway... then there was the option of splitting into two groups, and thought "great, I'll go for Bulbo instead!"

just my

I think the option of splitting into two groups is good one...

I'm happy with whatever is decided, I fully understand a hobby can turn into work and would not wish that on anyone.

If I can grow the project plant I'm in

. If I can't for whatever reason (too big!), I'll try again on the next project. I fully understand the desire to grow larger plants, only if I could.

Thanks for all the work so far, its something thats not said enough.

Now back to de-compoting orchids.

It is a good idea...but it's been too much work trying to get something like that organized

It was starting to feel overwhelming and I'm thrilled that so many people have responded to my latest PM with such positive replies

maybe whoever puts together the next project should think about having a double winner

Oh, size is not going to be a problem with the Haraella...it's a sweet little guy!

The size issue would be from the Dendr tetragonum.

nenella · #**148** 04-17-2009, 03:20 PM

I am for any of the 3 !!
Of which I will look forward to having & growing
As I have none of them ..and don't/have never posess/ed a Bulbo & otherwise I have only ever had one Dend.Nobile..which is just about to give me 2! yes 2 flowers after last flowering in 2007 covered in flowers...this is basically the reason whyI had voted harella

I've received all positive responses to the Haraella retrocalla (odorata) so I have contacted Greg at Oak Hill Oak Hill Gardens to let him know he should be expecting our U.S. orders to start coming in.

As always, make sure you give your OB user name when placing your order so they know to give you the 25% discount.

I'm so excited now!
