Please continue to suggest plants if you like, any type is best as long as it meets the criteria. The Project is only 5 days old and we need to give it awhile to give others a chance to join and suggest plants to participate in general. We already (in 5 days) have 17 people in this project. I think we should evaluate whether or not to start the voting poll in a week or so from now. This is something we shouldn't rush through.
P.S. researching plants to suggest is not as easy as you thought,now is it.
But it's a great way to learn.

As long as they get it from the same vendor that offers a discount they will most likely get same % discount. We aren't talking about very much 10% of 20.00 is 2.00 it helps with the shipping I guess.

Rosie, while I understand where you're coming from, I'm against the idea of searching for plants in canada, US, europe AND UK. Finding common plants is going to be next to impossible and you are excluding some very good EU vendors, such as Nardotto or Schwerter.
Like Ramon suggests, mainland europe members can help out. I would gladly buy the plant for you and get paid back via paypal. To save on shipping the plant could be sent directly to you by doing the order in your name. Same works the other way around if the plant is only in the UK and there's transactions fees for € to £.

Sorry I replied to the wrong post , I meant reply to help. It's the heat. LOL
And Thanks again to Rosie for picking up my slack.

Dave, I and I'm sure everyone else knows that you're busy. I tend to have lots of time, and I enjoy researching things... so I get a little out of hand, but I'm glad you saw Helps suggestion. Thank you for taking the time to do this!!! And Rosie, you're help with everything is greatly appreciated!

I forgot to mention that I've made some more suggestions of previous pages... one of them is a cold to cool growing orchid, but I guess I missed that... I was too captivated by its beauty.

I've been happily looking up plants and further enlarging my wishlist on Orchidwiz
Per the list of plants in the first post that meet criteria, I wouldn't classify Den kingianum as an intermediate grower seeing that it needs a quite cool winter to bloom.
Some suggestions:
* Den tetragonum (might be too big, there's lots of size variation in this species, 2 to 20in!)
SBOE $25, Paramount $25-28, Nardotto e Capello (12,5€)
Pleurothallis restrepioides Up to 9in
Andy's ($18), Cloud's ($20), Burnham (£8)
Bulbophyllum ambrosia 5in
Andy's ($28 - will try to find it elsewhere cheaper), Cloud's ($25), Grobraschner (15€)
Sarcochilus hartmannii 20in in habitat, but cultivated plants about 6in
SBOE ($25), Paramount ($25-28), La Cour des Orchidées (15€)
Dave, if you would like me to check some things on Orchidwiz like I did in a past project, just sent me a PM with what info is needed!
