Orchids in Our Tropics has good quality but again, website hopelessly out of date and I e-mailed them a month ago and never heard back.
Crystal Star is good.
Those are the ones I have dealt with. Not too many places for an entire country for choices

Thanks for that info! I'll add the last one to the list, and include notes about the others. Projects involving canada are always such a hassle, there is so little available up there that it makes finding candidate plants a huge headache....

Oak Hill Gardens $15
Only two hits from the OB on this one. Looks interesting but not sure of the full size of it. Cant find an EU vendor though as google isnt working and giving me an error for some reason.

http://www.kopf-orchideen.de/ Not sure of this one as I cant read German on the plant list and the excel isnt translating it right.
J&L Orchids ~ All Other Genera 2 $20 Scroll down to find it. Not sure why J&L is set up that way.

WOW, take me with you Camille!!! LOL...
Such a lot of great suggestions already. I'm going to have to start digging around and add to the list myself.
On a side note, I also know of people who had the project plant but would still chime in about how they grow the plant(s), show us activity and blooming as it occured, etc... That way, we could all learn from their experiences as well. I'd hate for someone to feel like they can't participate in the discussion at least.

Ok, well just to add a few more to the list, while I'm procrastinating on doing real work.

I really like NatalieS suggestion, Dendrobium peguanum. Too bad it can't be found at the Canadian vendors...
