Neofinetia falcata (Project 6b - Spring 2008)

[shakkai]

OK. The 'hard part' of picking a list of plants to choose from is already done - kinda... there is still a long list to choose from!! But any one that strikes your fancy will work!

We are all going to choose a Neofinetia falcata - tons of different varieties out there - one for everyone!!

The really fun part of this project (apart from it being another awesome excuse to buy another orchid, and share it with all of the folks here!) will be in the potting and display of this baby.

There are several threads talking about different potting and display methods, so have a look! Get creative! And then we can all look forward to wonderful photos of the display.

OK I'm in.

[gmdiaz]

Sooooo cooolio!!!! You guys are such sports!

[dmc]

Me too. I can not let Gwen have all of the fun. We will have a little throw down in our office. I have to say that we do have fun with our little 'chids.

Diane

[shakkai]

Great Diane!! You definitely don't want Gwen to have all the fun!

[gmdiaz]

Heh Heh Heh

[Ross]

New World for me (it's close).

[Becca]

So for the Neo falcata, are we all going to have to agree on the same variation or are we getting whatever variation strikes our fancy?

[shakkai]

Great research, as always, Dorothy! We'd all be lost without you!!
