oops.. I had missed this one... will have a look in detail later tthis week..

I hope you don't mind. I'm recompiling the list to include the three phal.'s and their information. Also, I'm adding the temperature/environment information that I can find.

[Paul Mc]

Gastrochilus bellinus - leaf span up to 18" – warm to cool growing (IOSPE info)

Aerangis fastuosa- under 3" – (listed at hot grower, but info elsewhere (and on Orchidwiz), decribing it as an intermediate-warm grower)

Angraecum didieri- up to 8" – Likes hot to cool temperatures w/ high humidity (IOSPE info)

Dendrobium aberrans- 2-8" – Cool to warm growing (IOSPE info)

Aerangis biloba- "relatively small" – Intermediate to warm (from Nardotto)

Bulbophyllum ovalifolium leaf span 2" – Intermediate (Andy’s Orchids), Cool to Warm (IOSPE info)

Paph delenatii- leafspan 8" – hot to warm environment (IOSPE & Nardotto), Intermediate (Oak Hill Gardens)

oooh! phal pulchra-I LIKE

[Lana]

Wow! What a list! I already have several favorites! Excited, excited, excited!

[Call_Me_Bob]

Me too. My faves so far are laelia lundii, all the angraeceum and aerangis, and the dendrochilums. And phal pulchra of course


You can call me Bob

[Lana]

I love pulchra! But I got one a few months ago, still trying to figure it out It's done NOTHING since November. So I'm hoping for another plant to be picked as a winner

[flhiker]

Just wanted to mention that IOSPE is not a real reliable source for growing conditions. It may be better to use Orchid Wiz. or the vendors info. One of my suggestion lean to the warm side and the other to the cool side but both can be grown in intermediate conditions. Alright there is my 2 cents for what its worth.

PS Thanks Rosie and Camille for doing the project. I feel like I'm on vacation.LOL
Any Idea on a time frame for this project?
