Laura, how cold was "a bit cold"? My plant grows and bloom fine under intermadiate conditions (upper range of intermediate, but sometimes with cooler temps at night)... Same as my Sophonitis cernua, which is available everywhere I think, and could be a good candidate for the project too: Orchid of the Week Library: Sophronitis cernua Cattleya Orchid Source - Sophronitis cernua

On a bright note...
I received an email response from J&L, they are working on a list for us and I should have it this week.
As soon as I do, I'll post them so we can get some research done prior to the next chat (which I have not scheduled yet)

Dear Susanne,
We are working on a list. We have come up with a few intermediate masdevallias but want to offer some other genera as well. Should be able to get it to you this week. Thank you for your patience.

I replied telling her that many members are not comfortable with Masdies so a few on the list would be nice but we could really use other genera more

I am busy at the moment but yes, that sounds fine as long as it fits our criteria and is available, let's discuss it in the next chat. Can one of you (either Melissa or Camille) remember to suggest it if I forget to do anything with it? 
Melissa, I made myself a note to add your name to those plants.
I'll take care of it later

The Cochleanthes amazonica is beautiful but Orchid Web and Clouds both only have medium seedlings. Are were using seedlings for the project plants?

Good point. I didn't go check the websites, so didn't see that. The project plant has to be blooming size (or near blooming size). 2 years until blooming is an awefully long time! Looks like we're going to have to take it off the list.
