I am definitely going to be able to help out with research when the time comes. Let me know!

I haven't posted much, but do a lot of reading and want to step up to the plate and participate in the next project... just tossing my vote in for at least someone interested in participating. I'm definitely not experienced enough to lead or help with the decision making process, but very much looking forward to participating this time around. :-)

March is really right around the corner!

Sooo... any project ideas yet? Its March!!! :-) (I'm just excited to participate this time around)

[Becca]

Heck yeah it is March...almost mid March in my book....and the article contest is over with. I'm ready! I skipped out on the last project plant as well...I'm hoping to still add that one to my collection....I've very excited! I will help out as much as I can, but I won't have the time that would be needed to dedicate to the project so the best I can do is offer my assistance to ever decides to lead away!

I'm willing to help as well, but after the turn out for the article contest and last project, I don't think that many will participate. Having said that, We have always chosen species in past projects so maybe this time we can look at hybrids as well. After 8 or 9 projects we have all but exhausted available species to all. I know that everyone may not be able to get the same plant but maybe we can chose plants by region. In other words if people in the UK can't get the same plant maybe they can get a close relative of the same plant. As long as everyone there gets the same and everyone here gets the same as well. It still can be fun and a learning experience as well. Here's a list of ideas to think about
1 species only
2 miniature plants only
3 primary hybrids
4 Mystery plant (only the organizers know what it is)
5 choose a alliance (cattleya, neo's, bulbo's, ect...)

I don't really want to run the project but I am willing to help.
So who ever wants to run this project should start a sign up thread and start discussions about what to get.

i would love to play along! i need to replace two plants anyway, and i am also setting up a terrarium.

and maybe i will have better luck with this project as i just lost my summer project plant :/

I've never done this before but I'd like to see it happen-I don't have enough time to do anything more than take part once the project is set up.

So basically everyone wants to participate but no one wants to run the project. Looks like its not going to happen then. I originally thought I would have time to take charge myself, but spare time is something I'm not going to have a lot of until mid april since I'm really busy with school, and projects are a TON of work.

Dave, in 8-9 projects I don't see how we could have exhausted the list of plants everyone can get. Each time we have about 10-15 candidates, and only pick one. That means that there's a lot of left overs! And stocks at growers change, so there might be some new possibilities.
