Ah, no worries! You do have a lot of work already (and your dedication is very appreciated).

Here are my five choices:

Cattleya walkeriana
Dendrobium cucumerinum
Dendrobium moniliforme
Leptotes bicolor
Oeoniella polystachys

By my count, we have about 9 people left to vote.

astrid I see you voted, but I didn't see your name on sign up.. are you participating in the actual project?

My votes:
Dendrobium moniliforme
Dendrobium laevifolium
Cattleya intermedia
Cattleya aclandiae
Hadrolaelia group
All dens and catts! Was Den unicum hard to find for everyone participating?

I don't know, I never heard. Oh well depending on what we finally pick perhaps we can get it as a traveling partner. I am really hoping that I will be able to at least get something else on my list of wants.

I don't remember seeing Den unicum in the suggestions.

As to people voting who haven't signed up, unless they sign up in the meantime, I won't count the votes.


I'm happy and sad to see Catt aclandaie as the favorite. Happy because its beautiful but sad because if it wins in the final poll, I won't participate in the project. It's the only plant in the list which is not in Europe, except as a seedling....

Actually... how did that make it to the poll, camille? I am not seeing Cattleya aclandiae available for sale anywhere, except at Andy's and Andy's only has near blooming size plants. Not blooming size plants. Clown Alley also has them, but they are several years from blooming size. In fact, according to what I am seeing here, they are not available at blooming size in the US either...

Check one of my posts earlier in this thread. Melissa did all the research on it and found several growers. I'm not familiar with many of them, but then again I'm not in the USA...

I didn't check the sites for plant size, I assumed she had done that. NBS is also fine, but nothing smaller

Yeah... only 5 of the vendors she listed had plants at NBS. 2 of them charge prices above the parameters for the project and have limited quantities only. So that leaves 3 that might have enough for the project. One of them was Andy's, but when I double checked, the listing for this plant seems to have been pulled. Maybe they sold out.. This is a total bummer because I do love that cattleya. What a gorgeous flower.
