Becca, your late. I couldn't wait and ordered them yesterday.

Ok, so we can do any Rhyn, I will do the gigantea, as I can afford that, and Nardotto won't mind cancelling the order for the smaller coelestis if I replace it with this one.

This seems to be the most sensible choice when you consider that we are doing this across two continents, and I certainly wouldn't have thought of getting one of these if it hadn't been for the project, so well done, Dave, you have got me interested in another branch of the orchid family

So question is ...Can we all know which one everyone is going for? so as to decide which one is to be a TC for R.coelestis and therefore have the most members growing the same plant? as, after all the aim is to see how they grow in our different environments?

Ok so Hedge is going for the Gigantea, what about everyone else?
And yes, I agree too that I would have never thought of growing this either if It wasn't for this project!!!

I went ahead and ordered the colestis from Hausermans also. I was too excited to wait but I did get a TC so it wouldn't feel lonely since I got the Den and Laelia from Andy's.

I love everything in the Vanda family. I have quite a few. I might end up with all 3, I just came across a list of orchids to order from Oak Hill, since they're coming here and retusa is on the list I dont remember if I ordered it or not.

What's the culture of Rhyncostylis? I love the retusa.

Yay...I just ordered mine. I choose Hauserman's and got the coelestis. I am so excited. I have vandas, ascda, asctm. and aerides, but no Rhyncos yet. I can't wait for it to arrive.

I must admit...this is my first time ordering an orchid and having it shipped! I have always gotten them at shows or stores. I don't know if I can wait for it to arrive. Lol.

Just ordered mine from Hausermanns Glad they had it at a good price. I did go with the Rhyn coelestis. I also got the Laelia from them as well, I called and they said it is BS, incase anyone else is trying to get both from Hausermanns. Now to wait for them to arrive!!

[nenella]

I have ordered mine as well! I went for a colestis & the Laelia and a couple of TC's. I already have the Den so I'll be following your posts on this one!
