I think that's asking too much of the vendors. They will already be making the effort to supply all of us with like-plants.
If everybody here keeps coming up with new and different choices, eventually we'll find something that the large majority of our members would be gratified with. There may be some casualties but it won't be from lack of us trying.

We'll figure something out. One thing i know for sure though....all this web surfing to look for interesting plants is introducing me to new and beautiful Genus and species. It could be hard on the pocket book.  But it sure is a lot of fun!
I'm going to try my hand at a Calanthe next.
You know Suzanne...this is all your fault for getting me started on looking for orchids.

I'm just afraid that we'll end up with an unmanageable list of hundreds of plants.
I think with the number of interested people involved and their existing plants, and the geographical locations, it will be almost impossible to come to an agreement. I forsee ulcers for the organizers
Not that I mind looking at new and different choices

The process of choosing a plant is a learning experience in and of itself! It's a way to really see the diversity of our 'chids...which is a major reason for my addiction 
Think about it...most of the time, you'd be searching online for a particular plant you've seen "somewhere". By being so focused on your mission, you are not really absorbing all the thousands of choices that you'd scroll past looking for the one that started your search.
I've become familiar with orchids that some of my long-time grower friends have never seen through our OB project searches
We'll sort it all out...sooner or later
By the way, Lin:
I love your signature

Thanks
And as for the myriad orchid choices out there, let me just say my son is a college freshman. I have very little money

Thanks Marie. I'm getting mine when we make our orders.

IF we end up ordering from Andy's, this is on my list as an addition, if not the project plant

Yea, I know what you mean. Along with my first project plant I ended up ordering a Pleurothalis tribuloides, and Platystele stenostycha. Then with my second project plant, I ended up ordering a Phal Mini Mark, and Kefferstenia tolimensis, and Bulbophyllum dearei. I'm already planning to buy Dyakia hendersonianum with the project plant(I have a strong feeling that Dyakia is not going to be The Project Plant. God forbid I should see another one I like.

I love the Oncidum lanceanum but I think thats a large plant.....Paph. Sand Dollar is compact and attractive. I have purpuratum.
