I think just five will make it from this list for us to vote on in the final poll. Then from there, availability will be taken into consideration and some plants might get dropped if there are not enough plants for everyone.

5 i think. I probably also have to quit if the Catt will make it.
We're having an international show in two weeks in Switzerland , so there's one last chance to get one.

Why? Can you not get Catt's in your area?

[Tschimm]

No, there are no C. aclandiae available in Europe at the moment. :-(

I could buy a kitty and call her Aclandiae though :-)

you could and keep her progress on this forum. I might have more progress with a kitty as well. Not to worry I have a feeling when we go to do the final vote most people will take into consideration that some can't get it and won't vote for it. I know I won't as I don't want to have someone have to drop out. How about the Laelia's?

Camille I think it is a Habrolaelia. At least SBOE has it listed as one. I am not sure if there is a difference in rupiclous and habrolaelia. I did try and look it up and it seemed they had some listed as one then as the other. Not sure. I did a quick search and could fine much, but I am also not that good at it.

[Tschimm]

That would be very kind of you all :-)
I didn't look for Hadrolealia-Catts yet, but I think at least a C. pumila should be easy to find.

I'm leaning toward the Podangis as my favorite! I think it is so neat!

@Melissa: I would rather go with Pondangis too ;-)

I have the same aclandiae as H&R is offering. As much as I love the orchid, I agree that the project isn't fun if not everyone can participate.

I'm torn between the Podangis and the Den. Cucumerinum. I'll probably order both anyway, but as for which one we do the project on, I'm just not sure which one I like more.
