Project 1 - An Interesting project idea...

[Tindomul]

Every time I see that Miltassa, I like it more and more.
Cheryl, I really like the Haraella buds. Becuase the lip is purple you can actually see how the bud rotates through time right before opening! When the bud first starts to put color on the future lip, you can see that it is on top. Then as the days go by the purple part starts to rotate till it reaches the bottom of the bud. Then a few days later, it opens!

here is a web page of pics for you Scott. The real Shelob,

Hey all

Its Kristofer from ‘The Orchid Shop’..

I just went through some suppliers and found a few that has Phal lobbii among some other gems. If wanted I could do a “special” order of plants and bring in plants for this. I think it’s a great idea and would love to track the progress.

Let me know, and I do not mind searching out some other plants.


Cheers!

We'd love to see you involved in that one with us

That is really great Kris - thank you.

Yesterday, I searched (thx Marty) the memberlist for anyone that lists a Canadian location and will send them a PM this morning - let's see what interest that brings.

[Oscarman]

We have the potential to have 28 people involved in the Canadian Plant Project. That is how many members I could determine are in Canada and sent a PM to. Within 10 minutes of sending the message, I already had one positive reply!

If you are reading this and saying "How come I did not get a PM?", simply send me a PM and I will forward the message to you and add you to my Canadian grower list.

I am very excited that we may have a large number of growers involved in this project.

If you like this one, there is also an International Plant Project in the works!

im down just pm where, what and when to buy

[Wendy]

Well I'm interested but i need to know plant price and shipping. I used to grow species Phals and my lobbii was a very vigorous grower/bloomer. Now i grow mainly Paphs so I'll have to work a bit harder to grow lobii again...bring it on!

[Kris]

hey all, im in


my picks are:

Bollea coelestis or lawrenciana
Paphinia cristata
Den. thyrsiflorum
Onc. Papilio (always wanted one)
Phal. violacea
