Spring 2015 plant project: FIRST VOTE! (PARTICIPANTS ONLY)

[Tschimm]

I already ordered the cucumerinum anyway 😀

[RandomGemini]

Andy's has more than enough of the Dendrobium Cucumerinum. We're good to go!!

Parkside emailed me and said that they have a decent stock of Aerangis citrata and Amesiella monticola.

I think we should proceed with the poll.

So, where are we at? I had a nice 3 day weekend (it was King's Day in the Netherlands- an intense day of fun and wearing orange) so didn't go on internet much...

So I caught up on the thread and it seems that our confirmed list is this:

Leptotes bicolor
Podangis dactyloceras
Den cucumerinum
Amesiella monticola

Do we leave it at that, or do I toss in the Catt walkeriana as well?

My boyfriend will be getting home late from work today, so I'll have plenty of time before he gets home to set up the poll. I'll include all the vendor availability so folks can see what's available where before voting.

The Aerangis is out ?

Yes because it's not available in Australia. I know there are only 2 participants there, but since we have enough other plant candidates to choose from, I prefer to kick out the Aerangis and ensure that the Aussies participate!

Yes, toss in the C. walkeriana. It is readily available everywhere.

Let's put up that poll and vote! Yay!

I could not find Aerangis citrata in Canada either unless I missed a vendor.

Alrighty then, I'll get the poll up around 7-8pm my time (so 5-6 hours from now). Until then, I need to get back to work...

Let's hope that there are no ties for first place, I don't want to have to put up another poll after this one!

[RandomGemini]

Camille, I'll post my vendor list when I get back to my laptop in about an hour. Gotta go walk this dog before he starts bouncing off the walls!

The ones where I have indicated a number of plants, are the vendors that responded to my phone calls and emails. The others list these plants as being available on their websites, but I have no idea how many are in stock from those vendors. I've left out Aerangis Citrata.

I haven't done extensive homework on Cattleya Walkeriana, other than to be able to say that Gold Country Orchids has "about a thousand blooming size." Almost all of the vendors I have looked at in the US have some variety of it though. So, it should be no trouble to find enough.
