Spring 2012 project- FIRST POLL (participants only!)

[camille1585]

LOL, probably! I'll only leave the poll open for 2 days this time!

[Rowangreen]

Just posting to see how board time compares to Camille time, compares to my time...

[Rowangreen]

Ah, looks like Camille's in the same time zone as me?

About 3 hours to go...

So what three plants are they?

Soph cernua, Paph purpuratum and what?

[Call_Me_Bob]

Can't wait!!!

[Rowangreen]

Not sure, but I think the paph might be the one that's off? Find out soon enough anyway!

I can't believe Paramount didn't get back to you with a potential sale for numerous plants looming. I have e-mailed them a number of times as I buy supplies from them for our society and they usually answer quite fast, even within an hour at times! They must be away a lot or in the middle of something. I know they are moving to another province and trying to sell their place and everything but that has been going on for likely more than a year now. Then our access to orchids will be limited even more. Although in this poll I think Canada did OK for having most of them available.

I'm an hour ahead of you, but OB automatically shows post times in your local time.

I thought it was weird too, I can't imagine a grower not being happy about potentially selling a lot of plants. But Andrew has called at least once, emailed 3-4 times, and NOTHING.

So to poll will go:
Soph cernua
Paph purpuratum
Bulbo lobbii

Paramount has the Bulbo, but as it's not listed as limited so I'm assuming there's got to be at least the 6 we need. Or is it better to not take the risk?

It's been five days since they said they would get back to me, I also left a message on Monday asking for a return call... No call or email. Not sure if this is because they are getting out of the business or what but its the worst customer service I've seen from a business relying on return customers.

Their website is kept up to date pretty much and any time I have been there, they have a good number of any one plant type, so it should not be a problem. Makes me want to buy elsewhere given their poor customer service. Especially I assume they know a group is waiting on the answer.
