Interesting Project-Canadian Version
Thank you to some of our US members for creating this idea. It was hatched in the chat room!
The plan is to agree on one new orchid that we'd all like to have and then each of us buy the same plant at the same time.
#1 We make our wishlists.
#2 Meet in the chat room one night and narrow it down to just one that will work for all of us.
#3 Grow it to supreme perfection and compare the results with each other. No pressure!
It should be interesting to compare the progress of each plant under varying circumstances. The hardest part of this will be to find a plant that will work in all of our environments.
Canadian growers, let talk about it here - to start.
