Summer 2010 plant project suggestions

I have no idea, since I've never searched for it on an american keyboard, but I think you can get to it through some combination of buttons. According to google, try AltGr+5 or with AltGr+E. (if no altgr, you the right alt), or try it with Ctrl+Alt+5(or E)

Hello, I'd love to join up for this project since I got all started on the Summer '09 on and then went MIA. It was a ton of fun though, and introduced me to a 'chid that I just love.

I'm not into suggesting anything new seeing as how you all have already done so much work, but I'll happily go with what ever is selected!

After a lot of searching, I managed to find 1 more orchid that is available in Canada as well, in case any canadians join in. Unfortunately there are extremely few orchids below $25, let alone $20 over there, but here it is anyway.

Cattleya intermedia: (the IOSPE photo is not so good)
Oak Hill- $6-15 depending on pot size
Nardotto- 12,50€, Großräschen- 20€
Paramount- minimum $26

I agree they are more expensive there. Maybe we should raise the price to 25 for Canadian's. I know it seem unfair but there's are routinely more expensive.
