Okay, found it...now I remember why it was rejected in our weekend chat:
Pleurothallis restrepioides
Long, arching racimes with restrepia-like flowers make this a worthwhile addition to any collection. This cool growing species is large for a pleurothallis, reaching heights of two feet.
I'm going to put it in the "no good" section of the list so we don't forget again...well, so I don't forget again

In general this plant likes relatively cool temps. Avoid temps much higher than 27C or lower than 10C.

Sounds pretty temp tolerant???

ON SECOND THOUGHT...
as I was just adding this, IOSPE says hot grower! 
With all the other choices we have...and keep coming up with...I'm gonna put this on the "not good for the project" portion of the list.
Sorry Niki |
That's ok..... it's still on MY wishlist I assumed it was ok, since it had passed before. I didn't even check it

I'll remove the Trichopillea from the list...but I WILL one day have it in my orchid room!
Now that my eyes are opened...I'm going through the descriptions on our existing list and notice a few just say "Medium" (my fault got lazy) ...in checking these in Orchidwiz, I found some that will have to be moved to "no good for our project" in our list
Den lawesii - 10-18" - being moved
Oncidium ornithorhynchum - 20" - being moved
We are now back to having under 20 on the list...the new number is now 18 |
Sorry Ramon and Camille...it's too big for us to use...as is the Den lawesii and the Oncidium ornithorhynchum
