well this joint is filled with the usual riff raff, so it’s hard to stand out from the crowd! because this is such a high cost production, we have neither the personnel, knowledge or resources to add a date stamp

but we’ll go old school ransom style and get a newspaper on the day oh, and also camille is ahead of you as well, with a massively potential 17.11 ( that’s November 17 if you didn’t catch that )

not yet! but check back in a week or so to see if you are the once in a lifetime winner!

finally starting to get some of that color filling in

Hmm. I think it's going to take longer than I predicted. We will see. Can you raise the temps a few degrees? Haha

Don't raise the temps; that would be illegal! I am still holding out for Dec 25th . . . . . . . because it takes sooooooo long for my blooms to open.

not to pour too much sand in your trunks, beachbum, but i think the shambles of a beach bar that is this thread will be closed by christmas...much to the satisfaction of all the lurkers here at orchidboard!

with the bud extending overnight, the future is becoming more clear. we give a solid 25% chance to shadeflower, sadly, an even more solid 25% whoever was on the day after him, and now a hefty 42% chance that camille will take the win on november 17! the remaining 8% to be divided equally among all remaining participants, even tho that equals out to less than a 1% chance that you will have a chance at winning. moreover, we are 110% committed to all of your satisfaction, and thusly have awarded a 12.375% margin of error to any guesses made after 18.11, which, to our non-european friends is the 18th day of the 11th month, in this the two thousand and 21th year of our lord.

also a 10% rebate on entrance fees, cause we feel bad you suckers are still reading this crap

hello all of you orchid obsessed orchid boarders! back with another non win update today for our very own shadeflower, who, while proffering a sound guess and was oh so close, has not sealed the deal with today’s date! sorry shadeflower, and better luck next time!

we can pretty safely say the same for mygreenpets, but to be honest we were really pulling for him so he could take his win to the vastness of YouTube....but alas, his time may yet be to come.

best of luck to our remaining contestants, and may warm winds bring bugs...i mean, buds, your way....

see you again in a few days with hopefully our final winning announcement!!

[Shadeflower]

ts your day temps are too low

looking good though

I did think Camille made a wise choice picking a week later than me so I think she is going to be closest

[tmoney]

my greenpets and camille, nose to nose at the finish line! a night away from blooming, a mere 12 hours separate our winners....so sad for the pets, thinking he might have missed out on some unknowable treasure...

and so much possibility for camille!
