Interesting Project-Canadian Version

[Oscarman]

That is really great Kris - thank you.

Yesterday, I searched (thx Marty) the memberlist for anyone that lists a Canadian location and will send them a PM this morning - let's see what interest that brings.

[Oscarman]

We have the potential to have 28 people involved in the Canadian Plant Project. That is how many members I could determine are in Canada and sent a PM to. Within 10 minutes of sending the message, I already had one positive reply!

If you are reading this and saying "How come I did not get a PM?", simply send me a PM and I will forward the message to you and add you to my Canadian grower list.

I am very excited that we may have a large number of growers involved in this project.

If you like this one, there is also an International Plant Project in the works!

im down just pm where, what and when to buy

[Wendy]

Well I'm interested but i need to know plant price and shipping. I used to grow species Phals and my lobbii was a very vigorous grower/bloomer. Now i grow mainly Paphs so I'll have to work a bit harder to grow lobii again...bring it on!

[Kris]

hey all, im in


my picks are:

Bollea coelestis or lawrenciana
Paphinia cristata
Den. thyrsiflorum
Onc. Papilio (always wanted one)
Phal. violacea

[Oscarman]

Thanks for the responses, lots of details to work out before the $$. I'll keep you posted. We have 5 participants so far!

Kris and Christina at the Orchid Shop are helping to source some alternate Phal choices in addition to lobbii.
The plants will be Intermediate to warm growers.

Once things come together - we'll have a vote to see which species is preferred.

Hi Dave...is this list for the Phal lobbii or the new project?

[Kris]

Hey everyone sorry for the delay, by the looks of it I might be able to get my hands on these Phals. for a good price. What I need to know is how many people are interested, we can ship these plants anywhere in Canada and as stated before we will be giving a special price to those who are participating in this study.

I personally vote for gigantean and lindenii

Phalaenopsis amabilis
Phalaenopsis equestris
Phalaenopsis gigantean
Phalaenopsis lindenii

Let me know what you all think
