The Ross Project
 
Here is the brief from the client:
Quote:
Plants must be small (this one qualifies), must be able to grow under dry conditions (35% humidity is lowest I usually see), must be able to grow under less-than-ideal light (at least on cloudy days) something like 1000 foot-candles, but still able to withstand or covet higher light (like up to 3000 foot-candles on occasion.)

Dendrobium williamsonii is accepted as in the running: http://www.orchidboard.com/community...liamsonii.html

What else can we suggest to help Ross fill that last little space?! :evil:

What about Rhynchostele rossii - IOSPE PHOTOS

Jay's info is slightly different to that from the Baker's (for example, I wouldn't call 80-81 degrees cool, let alone cold!)

I grow this one and it seems to be very adaptable, and easy to flower.

Dorothy, See the first post... We need to find a plant that fits into Ross' last little bit of space! :evil: In order to achieve this, it will need to be something he can't resist...
