Deadline for Suggestionshas passed
First poll is up!! http://www.orchidboard.com/community...ants-only.html
Let's get this project underway!
In order to let a maximum number of people join in, and to make sure shipping conditions are good for everyone, I aiming for us to be ready to buy the plants around late april. So patience is necessary!
Once again, I also copied a lot from Rosie's great post from last year.
Suggestions should be only from people who are taking part in the project. If you would like to join,
SIGN UP HERE
Since a 3 plant project may be too much work for me, for now I think we should keep it down to one intermediate temp growing plant
Plant Criteria:
Species only
$20/€20 max. Canada $25-30 because orchids are more expensive there. (shipping not included)
12"max plant size (can be 16" including spike)
Blooming Size or Near blooming size
Temps: intermediate (buy can vary somewhat. ex: cool to warm growing plants)
Available in the USA and Europe. Canada requirements may be added depending on participants.
We won't use plants already used in previous projects. Please see link here for a list.
Projects - What Are They & Previous Project Plants
Info to provide with each suggestion
1. Plant name (and which temperature category it is for)
2. Link to ISOPE (if possible)
3. Link to a USA vendor
4. Link to a European vendor
5. Link to Canadian vendor (if some canadians join)
(Vendor links should be to a blooming size plant within the price range).
Unfortunately if you live outside of US/EU/Canada, from past experience it is very difficult to add your country as an availability requirement and still have a decent amount of suggestions to vote from.
Some US vendors (you can use who ever you want just make sure they have good stuff)
