I'm confused about the rules- haven't laelias been done already? Or is it ok if they're different enough?

Also, do all the suggestions go into the final vote, or should we second any suggestions we like now?

That's where it's hybrids come in, most are not so temperature dependent for blooms.

The Hadrolaelias are not hard to bloom. I grow them in Seattle under T8 bulbs in the winter and outside in the summer. The rupicolous Laelias are hard to bloom though for me anyway. I haven't got one to bloom under my lights yet. The growths are purple and they grow sheaths every once in a while but no blooms. But I'm not giving up! It might be something different than the light. Our current project plant Sophronitis cernua takes cattleya light just like the Laelias.

Wasn't laelia reginae also done, and isn't it rupiculous?

I know nothing about laelias, they look cool and I'd like to grow one, so I'm not trying to get them cut, I'm just trying to figure out what's a viable suggestion.

I have never grown Ascocentrums before so I don't know what kind of light they require but if it is anywhere near Vanda light I can't grow them.

This would be a question for Camille but this project is a little bit different than the previous projects. The past project we picked one species and this time be are picking a group of related species. So if rupicolous Laelias win we can pick any of the species in that group. There are quite a few species so if someone participated in the Laelia reginae project they can pick a different rupicolous species. The main reason for not doing a previous project plant is so the people who have been participating for quite a few years won't have to do the same plant twice. I think anyways.

Bob already answered this but I wanted to add a few things. Laelias are a genus and there are many different kinds of Laelias and a lot of different species. There are a lot we can still do.

All the suggestions that fit the requirements will go to the poll. But you can say if you like something or not.

why-no zy-go ?

until I started searching through the European vendors - most don't seem to have any.....

Zygonisia cynosure is a REALLY easy orchid, flowers when small...just don't seem to be able to find any either

That's the gist of it, so people who participate regularily don't end up with the same project plant several times... But since we are voting for a group of orchids, then if someone wants to get Laelia reginae, that's fine too! The rules aren't set in stone, and since this project is somewhat different than past ones, the rules are invented as we go along!
