Otherwise we are really limiting our pool of plants for future projects.
BTW - it is really easy to grow so would be great for a beginner.
Just a thought - do we want to separate the project into two types: Beginner and Advanced? Some of the orchids listed can be challenging.

Time flies, I didn't realize that the Leptotes unicolor project plant was in 2009! I didn't participate in the end but I was well involved in that project.
Th beginner vs advanced could be a good idea, but for future projects. I don't want to change the rules at this stage. The advantage of these projects is that beginners do learn a lot since there are so many people participating which share their knowledge in growing the plant. Also beginner vs advanced can have a whole lot to do with growing conditions as well... I have killed all but one of the project plants I've bought (and can't get that one to bloom), but I'm still here!

I made most of the final list last night, but got home too late to create the poll. So that's in my plans for this evening.
One question: I'm not sure about Dendrobium oligophyllum, I keep seeing it listed as a warm-hot grower, which would exclude it from this project. Anyone have first hand experience with this one?
