I don't see the Barkeria in Canada, which is a shame, it's really cute. I love the phal as well, but if you look, Cloud's only has large seedlings of it... Why is it so hard to find plants in Canada???

So far, I've missed all the chats but I've tried to follow along here. From the initial list in the first post, I'm liking:

Tblm kotoense
Haraella odorata
Laelia bradei
Aerangis citrata

From the list that Andy's sent, I like the

Dendrobium rigidum
Andy's Orchids - Orchid Species - Dendrobium - rigidum
Isabelia virginalis
Andy's Orchids - Orchid Species - Isabelia (Neolauchia) - virginalis
Oberonia toppingi
Andy's Orchids - Orchid Species - Oberonia - toppingi (Philippines)

It's unfortunate that Isabelia virginalis and Oberonia toppingi aren't available everywhere, since I was planning to buy those two from him anyway! A few others that I really like, but haven't had the chance to check availability are:

Capanemia micromera
Andy's Orchids - Orchid Species - Capanemia - micromera
Ceratochilus biglandulosus
Andy's Orchids - Orchid Species - Ceratochilus - biglandulosus
Dendrobium limpidum
Andy's Orchids - Orchid Species - Dendrobium - limpidum (dichaeoides fat bulbs)
Macroclinium aurorae
Andy's Orchids - Orchid Species - Macroclinium (Notylia) - aurorae

I somehow have the feeling I'm not lucky enough for these to be available everywhere, though :P

Thanks Suzanne and everybody for great suggestions. I have not been able to participate in the chats. I'm really looking forward to this project. I can only hope that the final chid is one that can grow outdoors here in South Florida. The temps we get for the summer .... 90 days and upper 70 nights. It's brutal on some types.

Oooooh, all three get my vote - especially the Dendro limpidum. That's an amazing looking plant.

Don't remember why, but I don't think any of these work for us

I will be adding the 4 suggested plants in that list along with the Paph henryanum to the http://www.orchidboard.com/community...lant-list.html but according to the information, they don't all work for us so some of them will be in the lower section (the ones we can't use)

For a general idea of temp ranges, I'm using this:
Orchid Care Tips: Temperature

Thanks for checking availability...and noticing the size, Camille

Because....... we have a much smaller population of people in our country than anyone else which means there are less people to be orchid enthusiasts, which mean less pressure to bring in all these wonderful plants!


I dunno! But I remember last year there were plants suggested that you could only get here... so... it evens out

I don't think any of the three are available in both CA and EU, unfortunately. BUT, that doesn't mean I can't try to tag them onto my order for our project plant, assuming we use Andy's
