You can always wait until you get back home before buying the project plant. That's probably what I'm going to do. I'll be away longer than usual this summer and like you, I don't want to add more plants to the plant/house sitter's list!

Any other suggestions of species to consider as parent plant for this project?

The difficulty I have is that it would be best if the species is a common parent of primaries, and that these are easy to find. The challenge is that it's much harder to determine what species fits the bill, since very often vendors sell primaries under their hybrid name...

I like the nodosa idea, but it seems that many people have nodosa crosses already. What about a Phal or Paph primary? I don't think we've had a Paph as project plant in a very very long time. Speaking of Paphs, what happened to Orchid Inn? I can't find the website anymore.

Sad to hear that... Another great breeding nursery gone for good. I discovered during the covid years that they did pre-orders of plants to ship out of a show in Europe. However once shows and traveling picked up again after covid, I never got around to doing a pre-order.

It is sad. If you are looking for Paphs specifically, I think I heard that Tim Culbertson took at lot of their stock.
