Personally I think we have more than enough suggestions. Time to sort through and start the pole.
|
Agreed, we have enough! Depending when I leave/get home this evening (have dinner plans), I'll finish culling the list and put up the first poll. Otherwise tomorrow!
|
most are easy to come by here in SA at reasonable prices. i LOVE the Den cucumerinum, flowering sized mounted for sale at plantae at R140, about $14-15

I'd like to add

Still hesitating to leave it in. |

Otherwise we are really limiting our pool of plants for future projects. BTW - it is really easy to grow so would be great for a beginner. Just a thought - do we want to separate the project into two types: Beginner and Advanced? Some of the orchids listed can be challenging. |

Thankfully, my husband loves my orchid habit and is excited for me to order a couple of the plants we've mentioned here in this thread. So, no worries. I'll still be making an order!! |
Just chiming in on recent discussion! I wouldn't mind another from the Leptotes genus. They look like fun and completely manageable for any level of orchid grower. :)

Th beginner vs advanced could be a good idea, but for future projects. I don't want to change the rules at this stage. The advantage of these projects is that beginners do learn a lot since there are so many people participating which share their knowledge in growing the plant. Also beginner vs advanced can have a whole lot to do with growing conditions as well... I have killed all but one of the project plants I've bought (and can't get that one to bloom), but I'm still here! ---------- Post added at 10:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:22 AM ---------- I made most of the final list last night, but got home too late to create the poll. So that's in my plans for this evening. One question: I'm not sure about Dendrobium oligophyllum, I keep seeing it listed as a warm-hot grower, which would exclude it from this project. Anyone have first hand experience with this one? |
