Hello All
I've been reading about the mini project and think that it would be fun to do...I especially like the aesthetic objective of it. One thing that I am curious about though is the "rule" that we all have to have the same cultivar... We are all going to be growing the same species, and as Ross has pointed out, in different ways & locations. Beauty being in the eye of the beholder, I wonder if we can just choose our own best liked cultivar and have at. Culture will for the most part be the same; variegated forms will need less intense light, Amami Island forms will bear a bit more heat, etc.
Just my two cents
Adam

Adam, I'm open to any possibilities. But it may be that if we order all the same, we can get a nice discount from NWO. That would be a benefit of us all selecting the same variety.

I agree with Adam on this one...as long as it's the same species, since we're doing more of a "creative" growing process theme here, it would be interesting to see lots of different types. |

Then we wouldn't need to do a poll or anything!!  |
