As people get their plants, it would be great to have a photo of each person's plant so that we can see all the different types that people ordered.

I've created a placeholder thread here:

if you want to post photos of your new baby (babies!) when they arrive!

Get that order placed today, sistah! He likes to mail on Mondays if possible, you know!

I ordered! I ordered! I ordered!

The Seds and Neos for me and Laura will probably be going out tomorrow!

I have to add that Dr. Lehr is a very pleasant and enjoyable man to talk with and I hope I can do more business with him in the future. Thanks to all the folks involved with this project. I'll now have a plant that I have wanted for a long time but have kept putting off.

Al, that's so great. That Amami Island is a LOVELY choice. ..a biggie.So glad you had a nice chat with Dr. Lehr!It's so much fun to try to grow these project plants. Some of my favorites are ones I wouldn't have thought to try! That is so exciting, and fun, and often so surprising! I love these projects for so many reasons. . .

Now who's going to receive their Neofinetia orchid(s) first???

[cb977]

I made this thread a "sticky" so we don't have to go searching for it

Nice work, ladies

[shakkai]

Thanks, Sue!! You are super duper wonderful!!!

[cb977]

Oh no...you, Gwen and Dorothy get all the credit for running this one!
