WOW! That's a "proud price" for this species!! :-S

(I could not find Habenaria ericmichaelii or rhodocheila in Europe)

Hi I think that Dendrobium cuthbertsonii or Dendrobium laevifolium would be fun...

We'd need to double check, but I think that in the last projects we wouldn't use SBOE since there are some states they don't ship to, and a 1 month quarantine period for other states.

I think we have way more than enough suggestions. How do we start to narrow it down?

really? did not know that...

I was thinking that we might want to do 2 rounds of voting since there are so many.

Round 1 would be initial elimination round where each person could choose say 5 or so that are their favorites. We could take the top 5 (or 6, 7 etc... if there are ties) and then do Round 2 of voting on the one's that come in at the top.

Never having done this before, I'm sure the moderators have had to deal with this before. Just thought I'd throw my thought out there though.

D. cuthbertsonii is not an easy species (actually I would say it is a very difficult species! I have very bad luck with it... now trying with 5th plant of it.. 5 months and I have not killed it yet... a personal Guiness Record! )

D. laevifolium is just the opposite, and a very nice plant... and tolerates a lot! I could find it in Europe only at Dendrobium laevifolium - Großräschener Orchids for 25€

I didn't have time to search for vendors for the last 3.
Like last time, the OW temps I list are in summer day/night format, followed by comments on the winter.

Ramon- I didn't go over your list yet since it seems like you already have the temp requirements covered with info from several growers. Do you still want the Orchidwiz info?
