[cabbo]

Besides the max, I dont have any of them on the list. I would love another one but I'd want it really BIG...gotta love that scent! Smells like Hawaiian Tropic!

Your not the only one! I had a hard time deciding between the Rhynchostylis and the Stans!

Sorry since we used multiple vendor choices I didn't know who to ask for the discount. Last project we only used 1 vendor and could prearrange a discount. Although Country Gramma did some vendor research and here is what she came up with. Hope it helps

In this order: Lae/ Den/ Rhyn

Andy's: $24, $16, $45
Stick M, Cork M, Stick M,
All BS

Haus:
$35, $17.50, $22.50
Cork M, 3" Pot, 4" Pot
?, ?, BS

Sant Barb:
$25, $17.50
Not sure if any are BS

Oak Hill:
$10, $16, $15
3.5" Pot, 4" Bask, 3" Pot
Not sure if any are BS

I know Oak Hill doesn't have the astrix next to their price on the Ryhn and I don't think the Laelia, so is it ok to buy non blooming sized orchids then? I would like to order both plants from the same vendor so I can combine shipping but I about choked at the prices for Laelia anceps at Orchids Limited, Santa Barbra has Laelia anceps at sort of reasonable prices, but doesn't have the Ryhn. I would by from Andy's since they have both, but I can't pay $45 for the Ryhn right now I'll keep searching! If anyone else finds somewhere where both are available for reasonable prices please let us know!

I'm in a similar situation, I might have to just do the Laelia.
D: money sucks. projects don't though! Still excited!

While I was also initially excited to try the Rhyn, I'm in the same boat. Oak hill does not appear to have BS plants for either the Laelia or the Rhyn. I also cannot afford $45 for the Rhyn unless someone can source it at BS cheaper than that, looks like I might be just doing the Laelia...

I thought one of the requirements for suggesting the plant was that it was BS under $25, not to offend whoever suggested it, the Rhyn is a beautiful plant but this is a tough spot to be in for some of us now that it has been chosen as the project plant.
