Kiki, I know what you mean. However, I only have my "environments" the way they are and can't change them. My shade house or my bathroom. I will be getting a warm grower and an intermediate grower. I'll look them over and they will either go inside or outside. I can always switch them later if they don't appear to like where they are. That's why I got one from each catagory.

LOL...I'm gonna try to answer all the questions in one post...if I miss any, let me know

Roly: The polls will still run thru to the end as there's no way to end them earlier but I have a basic idea of what we'll be needing, although there are ties to deal with I didn't get the chance to contact any vendors earlier, I'll be doing that tonight/tomorrow and probably won't hear anything back from them till Monday so we're right on schedule. I'm just trying to get a jump on things

kiki: You make a valid point about the TCs...and Dorothy's answer was what I would've said too.

Thanks D

I can't give any hints or it won't be a mystery because there will only be one chosen plant per temperature group

Roly: There's a very good chance that plants from separate groups will come from the same place. That's what I'd like to set up, anyway...nobody wants to pay shipping and handling from more than one place if it can be avoided.

Your question does make a point though
If anybody has, for example, a warm and an intermediate coming from the same place, I will ask the vendor if they could put a W or an I on the pot of each one when they remove the identifying tag.

kiki: I understand your worry. Maybe I can come up with a basic guideline for each winning plant, very generalized.

If, for any reason, any member feels the need along the way to have more info, I will give it them BUT they would be sworn to secrecy and would have to make sure they don't post anything at all on OB about it.

I'll post again when I have some more info from the vendor(s)

I have heard that from my hubby too, Kiki. I always agree and nod my head. Then I see something like Roly's LC Mary Ellen Carter 'Dixie Hummingbird' and I fall madly in love. I have to have one of those. Then I'll stop buying orchids. Uh huh.

Some plants are more forgiving than others. I don't always pick up on those subtle hints that our plants are giving us. I almost lost a couple thinking they wanted medium light and needed high light. Plus underwatering. By the time I noticed the changes, it was so far gone that it will be a year or two before it perks up. Duh, huh? I'm a bad Mommy sometimes.

Now that you mentioned the vendors. I was looking at Santa Barbara Orchid Estate and it take a month before I can receive any placed order due to a quarentine period that the plants have to go through. Here is their notice.
Notice: Plant-orders to be shipped to Florida and Louisiana need to be
held in quarantine for one month prior to shipment.

Like that is going to happen. If you have one Jasen, let us make a deal. Or I could just get on Carter & Holmes. If I do that though, I just know there will be more in the box than one. Somebody's signature says there is always room for one more orchid.

There are a number of folks in Florida that would be in the same situation...thanks for the information
Luckily, SBOE is not one of the vendors we need to depend on for this
