Maxillaria tenuifolia (Project 11 - Summer 2010)

[RosieC]

So, I've placed my order

I got the Maxillaria tenuifolia & the Gastrochilus japonicus.

I was really tempted by the Paphiopedilum delenatii as well but decided to be restrained this time. It's jumped right to the top of the wish-list though and I'm sure to get one another time.

Cool idea.

Both of these are so different to what I would have bought on my own. Really hopeing I can grow them now, but it will be fun finding out!

Kawamoto said that they have small plants, not blooming size.

As for Los Osos, they will give us a 2 dollar discount on the Max, and I am negotiating a discount for shipping as well. I will post when I get a reply.

I did not notice that, but I will mention that as well. Make sure it is true, and not a hybrid that they bred. Thank you for bringing that to my attention!

I'm in the UK so no, far too much complication/expensive ordering from the USA

I ordered from Großräschener in Germany. I bought the last Spring project and last year's Summer project plants from them as well.

so mary, what should we tell los osos to get the discount? do we just say we are from orchid board?

[marydaniellesantos]

I would send them a message to tell them, I'm still working out the details, and trying to get the shipping down as well.
