Default Mystery Project?

I love your list, Sue! Especially the Mystery Catts.
Wouldn't that Mystery Orchid idea be an interesting project? Everyone who signed up would receive the same orchids (three different miniature unnamed species). We would have to go by gut instinct and basic culture tips. Maybe a couple clues given along the way. Once they start blooms, the names would be revealed. Or we could throw in some guesses and see who comes closest to guessing the exact species before blooming. Perhaps use orchids that appear to be many different ones, so it would be hard to pinpoint from a glance.
Specify to a certain vendor (discounted of course) that we want three different miniatures and what the requirements must be, and have him decide and ship the three unknowns to whoever signs up with just general instructions.
I'm making this up as I go, but it could be an interesting twist....you think? Just a thought, thanks to your Mystery Catts.
Yeah, yeah, I know.....I got to get a life!

For those of you wondering...the above post was a reply to some "mystery Cattleyas" I have listed on my April status list.

kiki, now you've gone and made my wheels start turning again!

I love the idea!!! I do think that there would have to be
totally (yet part of the same project) separate arrangements made in major "locations" usually enveloped in our projects...the US, Canada and Europe. I'm also thinking that maybe this one would need to have a limit as to how many could participate, like a first-come, first-serve deal...expecting a vendor to supply such a request to more than say 20 people in the US would be a tall order.

I'm going to move your post and my response into our new Member Projects forum and set the ball rolling...let's see what our friends have to say!

I can't afford another project! I've got my US cash for my roadtrip into Michigan, and I'm ONLY bringing back my NWO babies... that's it!

LOL...this is just the very first discussions on whether it's even a viable idea!

With our current double-project, I don't see this happening for a few months...at the very least, not before August.

Just looking for some thoughts

Standing on the high dive. . .ready to do a nose dive right into another project.

Okay...so...great brains of OB...COMMENCE!!!

Let's work out the details over the next few months.

We'll need somebody to actually track who gets what so I'll just play administrator on this one...but of course, I will have to get a new plant along with the rest of you

so as administrator would you actually work with the vendor and actually know what we had. so if we guess incorrectly we'll find out what they are in the end anyways. i have a fear of NOIDs
