Summer 2010 plant project suggestions

[RosieC]

I can't find the tampense on a UK suitable site.

The good news (from my point of view) is that so far 9 out of 12 suggestions ARE looking good for the UK...

...and WOW what suggestions I would be happy trying any of them! Great ideas everyone!

[Edit] I've also tried help by compiling the info that's been listed in this thread about USA availability in to the first thread.

Edit all you want. I appreciate the help. and Thank You.

Oh, that's okay! There are some really great choices so far anyways.

Rosie and Dave, I'm sorry I didn't make this clear- the Den. laevifolium is available in the USA at Hauserman's, 15.95. Dendrobium laevifolium: Orchids By Hausermann

[Izzie]

And if the Den. kingianum was chosen, OH has it, but SBOE has a lot of varieties if we wanted to go in that direction. Dendrobium kingianum
Several are under $20.

Are we allowed to choose from different varieties of a species? If so, if we can afford a little more than about 20, can we spend more on a different var?
