Spring 2012 project- FIRST POLL (participants only!)

[Call_Me_Bob]

Agreed $2 isn't a big deal to me.

I was going to pay a few more dollars and buy the phal elsewhere, anyway, to support a vendor with whom I am familiar. : )

I say we can agree to put it in the final poll and the vote can decide it. If some don't want to go over, they can vote for the other. I have a feeling the cernua will prob win based on the first poll but you never know. Go Bulbo!! Actually I like them all.

Pweh! That's good. The sellers must love when forums have these project thingies. It's a chance for them to make a whole lot of dough.

I'll keep my fingers crossed for whichever of the plants that wins!

I don't mind the Bulbo in the least (some of those I've found are real cuties) and since I couldn't wait any longer I've already placed an order with Elsner - this was actually the biggest reason as to why I wanted the cernua to win so badly (except for it being my favourite appearance wise), I had selected so many TC:s from Elsner which I really, really wanted and which could only be bought from them!


Since I've ordered now though, I'm fine and feel much more at ease.

For the moment that is.

So you'll have to order again once we know which plant wins? Elsner is going to love you!

Elsner has 4 of the top 5 orchids (not the Phal, at least within price range), so I think that if you had waited, you could have ordered at Elsner anyways!

Yup.

Just as Schwerter does! The "good" part is that there can be no shipping done at the moment, since it's too cold in Sweden. And I'm also in the middle of maybe adding a P. equestris 'Blue Lip x self' if she finds any hidden somewhere, so the order is not finite yet.



I think I'm going to be banned from all of the German nurseries soon.

No I couldn't since some of those that I wanted are no longer available (like the P. equestris 'Blue Lip x self'), if I'm lucky she'll find a younger plant for me that's not listed (she seems to be great).

Well that's OK, there are plently of other EU countries in which you can do your orchid shopping!

STILL no shipping??? Are you at the northpole or something? I can hardly imagine it still being wintery cold, over here the trees are turning green, and the dutch spring bulb season is in full swing.
