The rainfall is around 45" p.a. and the temp ranges from a little below 10C. to the mid to high 30's C.
The area has dry winters.

Thanks for the information

Okay...this just isn't fair to the 54 people who voted quickly SO...



Dendrobium tetragonum with 13 votes

Bulb dearei with 11 votes

Haraella retrocalla with 10 votes.


Now we have to find a vendor in the U.S. that can supply us with at least 42, possibly 45, Den tetragonum!

We may have to order from numerous vendors...but this is going to take a while to figure out

If we can't accomplish that, then we'll move on to the Bulb dearei with the same criteria.

We know, for sure, that the Haraella retrocalla is readily available so...



I will do some research throughout the day but will definitely need help from you guys (and gals )

Keep us updated with whom you've spoken to and what the outcome is

Thanks Paul

How many project members are still missing to vote? if at leats two are still missing, we should wait until the 17-APR before we can declare any winner! We gave 7 days to vote, we should stay with it...

In theory, if two vote for Bulb dearei we would have two plants with 13 votes... and then it would need to be decided on a different way: e.g. availability!

just my two cents!

I have to say I kinda agree with Ramón. Not because I'd like to see the dear little Bulbo get some more votes...

I think that we are still missing 3 votes. After that it's shopping time !!! I would love to get some more plants in soon !!!!

[cb977]

We are missing just two votes

With everybody so anxious about the last few votes, I thought I'd call it done...it doesn't matter one way or another to me, we can wait till Friday.

It just gives us a few days to rest before we try getting enough of either the Den of the Bulb to accommodate us
