Keep suggesting as well (previous project lists can be a good source of candidate plants) it would be nice to have a list of 10-15 orchids that go to poll.

on your list, it says dendrobium aggregatum doesnt meet requirements. can you tell me why not? they need a dry rest in winter, but nothing specially (as far as i could gather) as far as temperature. nothing that would take it out of the intermediate zone.

it can be found at in all 3 locations.

Well can't we add Aerangis fastuosa to the list anyway? Then if it makes it to one of the final lists we could see if they have enough. You never know they could. If they don't then we will take it off the list.

Their website just says limited but when you grow thousands of plants-that could mean only 20 left! I don't think there are that many Canadians participating so it may not be a problem.
