I put Encyclia cochleata in the 'good' list I found it everywhere now.

I'll check/add the Bulbos tomorrow (the Catts are all too large).

I've just been doing an extensive search for possible US growers for Phal parishii. I found 2 or 3, but none in the right price range. I don't think we're going to find a US grower for it - perhaps it should be moved to the 'don't meet requirements' list? What a shame - it's so lovely.

I had also seen them at Olympic, but didn't put in on the list since it says that it will bloom next year. However we have other plants on the list that are near blooming size, and I think that it usually means blooming in a year.

We can always add it to the list, and if it makes it through the first vote I can contact them to see how many they have in stock.

They are seriously small. We have one pollinated at the garden and it is no bigger than my thumb. They sometimes bloom in flask.

I am also trying to find a US Grower (available at lots of growers in EU, & Paramount have them)As I have first tried to grow a lobbii (bought 2009) who is being very nice to me at the moment so I feel I am ready to try this one now. .
I'd also like to take this opportunity to thank all those who have found such a wonderful list of plants to choose from. It's already a very long list !!! what to choose there are already too many!!
And a special to Camille for starting & caring for this project
I love OB Projects!
