Project 3 - Plant List & Discussion

[Toddybear]

OMG! based on the project 2 list, how did you ever widdle it down to just a few choices? Our project 3 list is already mind-boggling and I'm sure we will have more added yet!

One thing to keep in mind is that The Orchid Shop may be able to track down some of our choices that are currently not offered at Paramount, Clouds or Orchids in our Tropics (this aimed at the Canadian participants)

I have a leptotes bicolor (bought from J & L who is a great vendor BTW). Tiny little thing with two flowers.

[Ludisia]

I have Bulbophyllum/Cirrhobetalum lepidum.

[Toddybear]

OK Sue, looking at the latest additions to the list, here is what I found in regards to Canadian availability:

Para = Paramount, OIOT = Orchids in our Tropics

Laelia crispa - limited at Para
Laelia pumila - Para
Laelia tenebrosa - Para (doesn't this one get big?)
Laelia perrinii - Para (blue form) and Clouds (pink)
Paraphalaenopsis labukensis - para
Bollea - N/A
Phal violacea - Para has alba X coerulea so should be at least pale blue
Coelogyne rochussenii - N/A
Cochleanthes marginata - N/A
Cochleanthes discolor - Para
Comparettia speciosa - Para
Miltonia spectabilis 'Moreliana' - Para
paph venustum - para
Paph. primulinum Purpuracens - Para
Paph. wardii - N/A
Dryadella anything - N/A
Gongora chocoense - Para (doesn't this one get big?)
Angraecum didieri - Para, OIOT
Cirropetalum lepidum - Para, OIOT
Cattleya skinneri 'Coerulea' - Clouds
Dendrobium macrophyllum - Para (doesn't this one get big?)
Leptotes bicolor - Para

See? I told you guys it can be done!!!
Kris is a great guy and I'm sure he'll do his best to help us if the need arises

Thanks again for your help in getting information for the project

This is a web site in The Philippines that is willing to supply ewbie (Imelda) with a plant even though they usually do bulk import/export orders only. It would have to be a plant native to the Philippines and a few that we've been looking at are on the list!

Let's see if there's anything else that interests us:

Lady Let Orchids

Comparing the Phillipines list to Paramounts here are the overlaps:

Amesiella philippinensis
Cymbidium dayanum http://www.paramountorchids.com/jpg/...um1%20copy.JPG
Phalaenopsis lindenii http://www.paramountorchids.com/jpg/Phal%20lindenii.jpg
Phal. phillipinensis http://www.paramountorchids.com/jpg/...ppinensis1.jpg
Phal stuartiana http://www.paramountorchids.com/jpg/...stuartiana.jpg
Dendrobium anosmum http://www.orchidphotos.org/images/o...ak/IMG0046.jpg

Phal. leuddemanniana http://x4.net.vnu.edu.tw/~tbgweb/cgi...e00_1110117897
Phal. mariae http://www.orchidspecies.com/orphotdir/phalmariae.jpg
Phal. pallens http://orchidorama.free.fr/05-janvie...0pallens05.JPG
Phal. schilleriana http://www.mendelu.cz/arboretum/orch...leriana_11.JPG
Trichoglottis philippinensis http://www.orchidees.fr/encyclopedie/dbphoto/160.jpg

I'm rather partial to the Cymbidium dayanum, Phal. phillipinensis and the Trichoglottis.

[Wendy]

I have Phal philippinense and schilleriana.

Trigonidium egertonianum looks very interesting and they have it listed at Clouds.

[cb977]

I like the Phal. schilleriana but I LOVE the Cymbidium dayanum and the Trichoglottis philippinensis

[Bolero]

Ok, I vote for the following:

Phal lindenii
Paph niveum

I know I mentioned niveum in my last post but would add lindenii as well........although I find them very slow growing.
