Spring 2009 Project - Poll

[boytjie]

Okay, I have to say I'm kinda glad we didn't go with the Dendrobium tetragonum, despite the fact that it won in the voting. I saw one on eBay this morning, and it's pretty darn big: Orchid species Dendrobium tetragonum - eBay (item 260393121644 end time Apr-20-09 11:18:48 PDT)

Those of us growing on shelves under lights would have had a bit of trouble as the plant started to mature.

Masdevallia Confetti (strobelii x glandulosa) - I'm hoping this one is scented from the glandulosa parent!

Paphiopedilum barbigerum var. lockianum (B) (Syn. Paph. coccineum) !!!!

Shannan, did you get confirmation they have these two plant? last time I spoke to Andreas Kopf (End of Feb) he did not have Masd. Confetti anymore. Same with Paph. coccineum from home

If you get it confirmed, I know who is accompanying the next order :-)))

It still doesn't look all that big to me... it says that the wood mount is 8 inches x 1 inch - and you can see probably just under half of it bare at the top, with only the bottom part covered in moss around the roots. I'd say the longest cane there is 6-7 inches - similar to my plant.

My shipment from O&M was sent out last Saturday. Herr Schraut did email me to confirm shipment (and get the CCV number for my card). As he didn't mention not having the plant I ordered in stock, I have to assume that it is on its way... I will know in just a couple of days when it arrives. I haven't had confirmation from Andreas yet. Confetti isn't that big a deal, in any case, I am more in love with the species!

I have been slacking on placing my order. I have come to terms that I will be lucky if I can afford just one TC to keep my project plant happy on it's journey. I just thought I would ask if there is some sort of discount set up for us project members? I know there usually is, but I just wasn't sure what the discount is this time?

Becca... There is a discount at Oak Hill for project members on the Haraella. I believe they are taking 15% off. So remember to include your OB user name!

[Becca]

Cool! That'll help me explain the purchase to my hubby better....lol. ...."but it was 15% off hunny!"

Well I have finally ordered my project plant!
The seller I bought it from had the Dendrobium
tetragonum listed as "Denbrobium tetragonum?(gigante)" & its apparently 20cms tall. ..as I am starting to have alot less space I decided to go for smaller 'chids!
I picked
Aerangis puntata & Ascofinetia
(neofinetia x asco.miniatum)
as TC's.

It's actually 25%...the price after the discount is $11.25 for the project plant.

I went a little over that

Oops. My mistake. Even better, right, Becca?
