Thank you Tyler

I don't have time immediately to check their catalogue against the list posted here, but from previous browsings I know at least that they have the following:

Dendrobium loddigesii
Dendrobium tetragonum
Phalaenopsis hieroglyphica

They have a fairly extensive catalogue so they likely have more. If a price is listed with it then they have it in stock.

Well I missed chat. How did it go?

[flhiker]

Not very productive. Myself and 2 others made it to the chat. No new plants where added.I've noticed a lack a participation with this project. We need quit a few more plants to get 10 for each group. I'm going to take suggestion until the end of next week. Then I'll go over the existing list and find out which ones can be found in all area's and omit the ones that can't. Whats left is what goes to poll (whether it be 2 or 10). I'm not sure what else to do.

If there is anyway I can help, please let me know! I'm pretty new to orchids and don't have orchid wiz but I'm game for researching plants! Just let me know what you need

Thanks Katie. I just need plant suggestions that will fit the project requirements and be available in Canada USA and Europe. I was hoping to get 10 or more plants per group Cool, Intermediate, Warm. Some of the plants on the list can not be found in Canada so they will be eliminated. As soon as I can I will update the list so we can get a accurate count of the plants listed. Thanks again

Sorry, I didn't make it to the chat. I was busy working on the orchids all day and didn't think of it until 5:30. I don't think I would have been much help anyway. I already see the plant I want on the list and hope it makes it this time! I am excited about the project and look forward to the voting so we can buy our plants!

Are these the only plants found in all three areas?

As it stands yes. I will be trying to add plants myself in the next couple days. There are no cool grower found in all three area's.

I was camping so I couldn't make it to the chat, and I'm new to orchids so I'm probably not the most adept at researching, but I'll make an effort to find at least one suggestion that can be found in all three regions.
