Mmmmm, yum, so far this one gets my vote, especially if Andy carries it.

I got a positive response from Andy about the Haraela retrocalla (odorata)...

they have plenty in stock! It's back on the green list!

For me, UGH!, on the Helcia sanguinolenta.

If henryanum gets eliminated due to size then delenatii needs to go too. The plant size is listed in OW as "small" with no dimensions. My delenatii is 4X as big as my henryanum when not in bloom in height as well as leaf span.

We're not eliminating the henryanum...or the delenatii. They will both stay on the list for discussions...

BUT those members who have space issues need to make sure they vote when the time comes so that their voices are heard

Question:

the Helcia sanguinolenta is listed in OW with size and temps that would work for the project, and it's available to everybody...

BUT

it also says that this one grows best in cool conditions (or in the cool part of the intermediate house)

Do I add this to the list or no?

I love the plant but because of the "cool" notes I won't be voting for it.

I can find this plant in Europe only at Kopf-Orchideen in Germany. I sent a message to Andreas Kopf to check if he has enough plants, but have not received an answer yet. (Last time I met the Kopf-Orchideen Team, they meintionned they had to update the website as some plants were not available anymore!)

Since you are mentioning them, I suppose they have good plants then? I added them to the search engine, but I no experience with them, nor found any info on them in forums. Großräschener Orchids (www.orchideenwlodarczyk.de) is good as well, Nenella ordered plants there and was pleased with the quality and packing.

Camille, I can tell you Kopf-Orchideen is SUPERB!!!

always great plants, a very large sortiment (especially Miniatures!) and very healthy plants... one of my favorite vendors! and a very nice team

Now that is VERY good to know! I have drooled over their plants more than once, and now there is nothing holding me back!
