2016 Project ? ?

[nikkik]

I think Sarcochilus falcatus sounds interesting as well. I have a lot of orchids, but for some reason always overlook Sarcochilus and do not own one!

[gngrhill]

Only my 2 cents on the Sarcochilus is that I have one I bought last year and it still looks just like it did when I got it. Reminds me of the Ameseilla Monticola, doesn't grow !

[My Green Pets]

How about an Oberonia? This group is known as the fairy orchids

[Leafmite]

I thought it might be fun to see what orchids were already mentioned. If I have missed any, please add to the list.

Dens. loddigesii (spring 2010 project)
Den. Monileforme
D. senile
Den. infundibulum
Amesiella monticola part 2 (recent project--for those who don't want to miss a moment of their plant's progress but are never around)
Cattleya or member of Pleurothallis group
Vanilla
Ascocentrum pumilum (another past project)
easy bulbophyllum
Sarcochilus falcatus
Soph. coccinea
Oberonia

Sarcochilus still sounds fun to me
Thanks for taking the time to get all the proposals together

How about I start a project properly in a new thread, and start an official sign up thread?

I now have plenty of free time to organize the project again this year. I handed in my dissertation a few weeks ago, and other than job hunting and preparing for the defense in 3 months, I don't have much to do.

Also, is there anyone in the US willing to pitch in and help? Usually it means helping research suggestions for availability/price, and calling vendors to check stocks. With the time difference it's not easy (or free) for me to make calls from Europe.

[Tschimm]

That would be great Camille.

I can help Camille, I happen to be across the pond

But they are hard to come by!

(...unless you know something we don't know and are willing to teach us the secret handshake...)

I was quite "gung ho" about sarcochilus last year and got one, and it still looks exactly like it did when I got it. Slow, slow, slow.
