I think I will try to get it at the Redlands show. Or at least pre-order and pick it up there.

Oh yes, thank you very much Rosie and Camille for all your hard work on the project!

I feel the same way and I did a little research. Apparently Gastrochilus somai is synonymous with Gastrochilus japonicus. Andy's sells both the Bulbo and the Gastro somai.

Most definitely thanks to Rosie and Camille for all your hard work!

Thanks to Rosie and Camile from me too. You guys are amazing - the amount of research and detailed analysis is really something. We are really lucky that you two took the reigns on this project.

Three cheers!

Does anyone know of a vendor that sells the gastro that's not mounted? Upstate NY is super dry and i'm having issues with mounted plants....

thanks for organizing this guys! anyone know if oak hill was asked about a group project discount?

$13 for shipping is insane! i might buy on ebay. anyone used shermantp? he is a top rated seller...

Yes, 3 cheers for Rosie and Camille.

I'm having the same issue here in SoCal. I grow all my orchids on the balcony, and have to mist them 5-6 times a day already (it's not even May!), the potted ones (!) to keep the surface not bone dry. I'm thinking of putting my new baby in a wide vase or a small aquarium to keep humidity around it higher. And if anyone here has any suggestions how to solve this problem, please share! :bowing
