Our next Orchidboard Project...

[OrchidTess]

I'm in! I would have never bought the Project #4 plant......... these projects give me the "kahunas" to try something new!

[khill]

I'm in too....Project 4 has been great. My plant is doing nicely and it is one I probably wouldn't have chosen, in the near future anyway.

[watsgw1155]

Count me in as well.

[flhiker]

Awesome I in as well.

Hi Ross

There were benefits of ordering all from the same place...the plants were usually from the same "stock" and grown in like-conditions. There was another benefit for those of us here in the U.S. - I was able to get the group a discount...which will not happen in the next project

In any case, it's great to see so many of you interested I'm hoping that the folks who were too late to get in on Project 4 will join us for the next one.

So, Sue... suggestions for what we should do between now and March? Maybe people should start compiling a list? Maybe each person can start to prepare a 'top 5' list of suggested project plants, and we can then use that as a basis for our master list for discussion in March?

[Dorothy]

Only 5 ?

I am hoping perhaps a mini laelia or cattleya species

[Neverend]

Please make it one that doesn't need lots of sun! And something that's warm-hot growing!

[Dorothy]

Oh maybe a phrag !

Oops ... am I starting already?

If you see something that interests you between now and March, put it on a list. Anybody who has been involved in previous projects knows that we go through MANY plants before making a final decision

Keep in mind...it must be an intermediate growing plant.
