I would like to remind everyone, this is a good way to grow something you may never had considered growing before. I got a Haraella for last spring's project and it's been doing great. I would have never gotten to enjoy growing it except for the project. So, as long as your conditions are OK, step outside the box and don't be afraid to try something new.
That being said, I'm with Sue. My little growing area could always use another Paph. or Phal.

Great point Bill, I probably would not have gotten any of the project plants in the past but glad I did.

Never mind the "Red Dragon" I think it may be a common name. The searches I did previously on the Canada site added the "Red Dragon" but it looks the same as the listing that is on Oak Hill Gardens under just Dendrochilium wenzellii. I'm not sure if it is a hybrid or of it is just a color variety as Dendrochilium wenzellii seems to have red flowers either way. Basically, my correction to the list is that the plant I was suggesting is Dendrochilium and not Dendrobium... there is a bit of difference between the two although the Dendrobium looks neat too. Why not add both?

I'd do the Den. Aggregatum. I always forget if that one is the miniature, or if it's the Jenkinsii....



I keep seeing "TC" in the project threads, anyone mind filling me in on what that means?

TC is a traveling companion. Instead of having your project plant travel alone on the way to your house, many people get a 2nd orchid they've wanted to travel with the project plant that way everyone is happy

I have both Den's and they are both miniature. 1 is a little bigger then the other but still very small.

Your not the only one. this question come's up in every project. TC stands for Traveling Companion. Most people get other plants when they order the project plant.

So what happens next? I haven't done a project before. Do we vote? Or do you decide, Dave?

The project is only a couple day old so we wait a few more days and see if any more people join. Then after going over all the suggestion's to make sure they are suitable I will set up each pole for vote. I think we should give it till next weekend at least.
