| Good evening everyone!

I don't know if this is the right place to put this thread, but here goes!
I was reading on various other forums, and have found that groups of people will order the same orchid (not mericlone, but grown from seed) and grow it simultaneously. then post the updates in one thread so everyone can see the progress of each others plants. I thought this would be fun to build community here and also to see what might come out of a cross of the plants grown from seed that came from the same parents. If anyone wants to do this just do a post in this thread!
I would like to select a given cross from Sunset Valley Orchids (with everyones help of course, majority rules). I believe Fred makes stellar orchids from seed, and think that it would be the best place to get a bulk order of the same cross. Ideally, we should select an orchid that everyone can grow, which means fairly affordable, and lower care demands, a compact or mini plant is also advisable as many of us are already suffering from cramped houses from the sheer quantity of flora already covering our benches
(although there is always room for one more)
As for the symantecs of the order, I would order the plants in a single order. When I receive them I would then ship out to anyone who wishes to participate. I believe that this would be the cheapest way to do it for a large group as shipping is 20 dollars regardless if you order one plant or ten from SVO.
I would like to keep the cost to participate below 25 dollars. I don't think we should have an issue staying below 20, but plan on 25 for good measure. Payments would be made via paypal. If you would like to tack on other plants let me know.
So go ahead! Look at the selection of orchids, post an orchid or two that you want to grow as a group project and we will take up a vote in a week or two!
Looking forward to this, as I think it will be a lot of fun if we get enough people!

Below are two different blooms from SVOs website
Sunset Valley Orchids - Superior Hybrids for Orchid Enthusiasts
Sunset Valley Orchids - Superior Hybrids for Orchid Enthusiasts
I have seen two flowers from this cross and they are absolutely stunning! I can only imagine what a group would look like!
If we wanted to go the species route, I want to try a walkeriana, preferably the cross with the alba form
