I have purchased a lot of plants over the years from both Andy's and Oak Hill. I have a couple problems with both places, however I must add that their plants have always arrived in good condition. I have to agree with Roly about the risk of purchasing from them. It seems to me that the main problem is these growers are not in south Florida and the plants quite often don't make the adjustment to our climate and conditions as well as the plants raised here. So for that reason I avoid both of these vendors now. Also the plants from Andy's are usually mounted and the wood he uses for mounts rots way, way too quickly. I have lost several plants because of the rotted mount problem. I will be looking locally for the project plant. Also, the Redlands Show is coming up soon, so I can also look there. I will be sure to post on this thread if I find the plant at any other vendors. Good luck everyone! Looks like it will be the Gastrochilus!

That's a really good point Susie, and I'll take that under advisement, though Hotlanta may not be as bad as the hotter parts of FL. I haven't had trouble with Hausermann's thoug, but I'll keep a closer eye on them now. Come on you last voting people, Gastro in the lead...

There, we settled it. My 2 are for gastro. If 10 votes are left, give or take some, this would give gastro a 5 vote lead with 8 to play

And yes, I am taking this way to seriously. Hopefully Rosie's PM will encourage the rest to vote, and we'll have our answer by Easter, preferably before I go out of town and fall a week behind everyone else.
