I have no idea, since I've never searched for it on an american keyboard, but I think you can get to it through some combination of buttons. According to google, try AltGr+5 or with AltGr+E. (if no altgr, you the right alt), or try it with Ctrl+Alt+5(or E)

Hello, I'd love to join up for this project since I got all started on the Summer '09 on and then went MIA. It was a ton of fun though, and introduced me to a 'chid that I just love.

I'm not into suggesting anything new seeing as how you all have already done so much work, but I'll happily go with what ever is selected! :biggrin:

Welcome back and hope your just as happy with this choice. :)

Thanks, Ctrl+Alt+E works. dam it works on word pad but not on the internet.;)

welcome aboard!

After a lot of searching, I managed to find 1 more orchid that is available in Canada as well, in case any canadians join in. Unfortunately there are extremely few orchids below $25, let alone $20 over there, but here it is anyway.

Cattleya intermedia: (the IOSPE photo is not so good)
Oak Hill- $6-15 depending on pot size
Nardotto- 12,50€, Großräschen- 20€
Paramount- minimum $26

I agree they are more expensive there. Maybe we should raise the price to 25 for Canadian's. I know it seem unfair but there's are routinely more expensive.;)

This is SBOE's shipping policy.

Shipping in the United States (with exception of Alaska and Hawaii - see below)
Notice: Plant-orders to be shipped to Florida and Louisiana need to be held in quarantine for one month prior to shipment.
The delicacy of orchids requires that they not be left long on doorsteps during harsh winters and summers. Cymbidiums and cymbidium flowers can suffer at temperatures below 30°F. Phalaenopsis can stand temperatures of down to 40°F for brief periods of time.If the recipient is unlikely to be home to receive the package, we recommend shipping to work (unless the building is highly secure) or the address of a neighbor. During bad weather, we recommend shipping standard overnight, in conjunction with insulated packing and a heat pack to allow immediate shipping of your gift. During severe weather we hold shipments Shipping days are generally Monday through Wednesday, with packages going 2nd day Federal Express and arriving Wednesday through Friday. Most orders, when they are straightforward and we are able to fill them, go out the same or the following week. Orders may take longer at peak times such as the Spring Show, Orchid Fair, Fall Open House, and gift-giving holidays.

Thank you we will not use them as a source!

ok, here some suggestions from my side. I am having some problems with my internet connection, therefore is someone else could check for their availability in USA/CAN, it would be highly appreciated:
