Maybe these will help us:

US Orchid Search

This one only has 3 vendors but we can add more if we find them:

Canada Orchid Search

No Lycaste aromatica in Canada

I think it would be really fun, sometime, during one of our projects to have another focus, in addition to the growing & blooming. . .how about display or display technique. Maybe as if we were entering an orchid show for judging.

Just a thought. . .cause I am thinking that we might well get some really cool photos out of that process. Don't know that Marty wants to do a calandar again this year?

Maybe not as part of the projects but as a totally separate OB contest. Gwen, could you please PM this idea to Marty?

Anyway's, its been a busy last couple of weeks. Its really hard to keep up with all the posts. I am looking forward to the final selected chid. Everyone is doing such a great job!

Many of us have had to deal with loved ones having this horrible disease; I pray for her quick recovery.

Back on topic:
Sue: My search has 46 sites, so there! And I'm working on extra code to make it work better as the setup wizard does a pretty poor job.
On the three recently mentioned...I prefer the harveyanum.
Also: Trichosalpinx rotundata disappointed me when I saw it in the flesh. The leaves/blooms are SO small.

I was thinking exactly the same thing, Becca - about white flowers, AND wanting an excuse to get another Neo!!


That harveyanum would go great with my Den. brymerianum. One comment about the temp range given for some of these Dens, though. When they say cool to warm, I think what they are actually trying to say is that it can take warm temps in the summer when growing, but need a cool, dry rest in the winter in order to bloom. I haven't any problem with that, but what do people in Florida who grow Dens (Sue????) do for the 'cool' part of 'cool, dry rest'?

Restrepia dodsonii is the only Restrepia (out of 4 that I have) that I've killed. I'd love to get another one....

White flowers aside, I do really like Jumellea comorensis.
