I am looking forward to the chat tomorrow night! Will we narrow down the list by voting for our top 1 or 2 favorites as in the past?

I cant make the chat as it is 2am for me and I have been up since 3 today so will be in bed early, I will watch the threads to find out whats been agreed at that chat if someone could be kind enough to update for us.

I can't make it either. 2am is late, and friday morning I must get up early to pick up my best friend from USA at the airport. Have fun, I'll check out the thread friday!

Same for me (I guess most people in Europe could have the same problem).

If someone can sumarise what was said for us all that would really help.

I'd also like to add a plant that was rejected for the last project as maybe being too warm/a potentially bigger than the former criteria, for the warm group-Phal. pulchra, available in the US (Al's Orchid Greenhouse and Windsong) and EU (Orchideen Lucke)IOSPE PHOTOS

I have this one, and from what I have read and been told, it is not a true warm grower. Apparently if the overall temperature stays high, then the plant will have a tendency to put out keikis rather than blooms, so it needs a bit of a cooling down period I'm not sure when. So it seems more of an intermediate-warm orchid. But I haven't confirmed this, I've only had it a bit over a month. I got mine from Claessen orchideeen, a top quality dutch grower.

Most days are OK for me [on a normal schedule; even though it's 'high' season for me (being in the holiday industry !)It's the Time that is the problem.!!! ]....it is 11.20 pm here..and the chat's at what time? Or rather..in How Long from now? I'll try ...if not I'm trying to get a list together to post
PS: I am quite easy & don't mind trying anything new as long as it falls into W & I growing conditions...Angracecum, Oncidium, phal, aerangis,asco, dendrobium................ really not fussy...

The chat is at 2am our time! I agree, it's not the date the problem, but the time. Even 2 hours earlier would be a bit more manageable, but I've not sure to join in since i'll be quite busy with my friend visiting. Then the problem is that the US people might be eating dinner or still be at work.
