Hi everyone, I found a really nice one,

Tin, I'll add that one to the list later tonight.

Wanted to let everybody know that Greg from Oak Hill called me today...unfortunately I wasn't here so he left a message.
He says their new wholesale listing is now posted and we should take a look at it. We could end up with some really great deals...

See you guys in chat later...

Sue, does he know that we are having them sent individually?

Oh neat, they have the Vanda tricolor with the white stems...

Hi Tik...this is part of my original email to him:
We are conducting our first
project right now growing the same orchids, purchased through the same
vendor in a number of different locations in the U.S.A..

He seems like a really nice guy to be dealing with and he's offered to help us make the correct choice for all involved. When I call him with our choice (or choices...I'm thinking we should choose a first choice and a back-up), I will get his input on our choice and any information he can give us to help them grow well.

Wish we could make our whole purchase from the wholesale section. I could pick a few deals.... :c)

This is going to be a great project and can't wait. Sue sounds great to hear they will work with us, obviously they are excited along with us. It will be very interesting to see where everyone is located and the different enviroments in which we all grow. I'm getting tired of waiting .. .. lol. Just had to use the yawn, not many posting to use this one on..lol.

Just two weeks to go!!!

I'm going to post an event on the calendar for a special
chat that night, which works out because Sunday is General Chat night anyway.

I'd appreciate it if all involved in this special chat could post a time frame that would work best for them and then I can work out what time to put on the calendar.

All involved should put aside some time to join this chat because we will start our discussions on which orchid we go with for the project.

You should plan on entering the chat with a first, second and third choice.We need to have specific lists or this will never get accomplished.

I thought of moving the date up but would really like to see if anybody else joins us.
