I'm pretty flexible and will go along with "whatever".

How does everyone feel about including hybrids as well as species?

I would slightly prefer species or primary hybrids, but I would be quite happy with a hybrid of any sort.

The problem with hybrids is that there is often not the same one available everywhere. The hybrids that are common in USA are often not the ones existing in EU, and vice versa. That's why they have always been left out of previous projects. If we are to consider any hybrids at all, I would limit it to just the more common primary hybrids.

I've seem pics on OB of some really large 'chids and I just wouldn't have room for one of them, but if the previous limit has been arround 12" then yes I could go bigger that that.

I also think Camille has a good idea about looking at the past project candidates as a starting point.

i agree

Well it looks as though we need to keep the plant compact but can use a slightly larger plant then past choices. Would it be safe to say that 15 inch max with spike will be OK?
