Summer Project, 2011 (Intermediate) - Project Plant Suggestions

[Call_Me_Bob]

maybe a ctstm, ive been thinking about getting one!

Hi Philip,

I haven't tried any of those except a few Bulbos. I have been pondering trying Cstm or similar.

I think this is a good opportunity to try some different stuff since the price point is a little higher. It leaves a little more room for variety.

WOW! Thank you all for all of these suggestions! It will take FOREVER to narrow this down, but I know how I plan on doing it! Keep bringing them in everyone!

Rather than narrowing them down, I think it would be best to put a deadline on the plant suggestions and then vote. If it goes too long, people might lose interest in participating in the project. I would suggest a deadline of plant suggestions by end of next week.

Based on the voting, you can then narrow down the list by what is available and in what quantities. No need to check on plants that no-one really voted for. Saves time.

Then you can have a final vote of the plants based on the availability.

Just my from the previous projects.

I looked for some Cstm and Mormodes but I was unsuccessful in finding availability and price range.

The one I really liked was Cycnoches haagii but it is showing only available at Paramount.

Stick a fork in me...I'm done searching. Let's vote!
