Me too, I like this one. I got it for one of the past OB projects, but it got virused and died. Need to get another one!

I need a Sedirea japonica regardless of what wins, I've wanted one for ages now.

Thanks everyone for the further suggestions and Camille for looking up those plants. I'll get the list updated soon.

You're going to laugh, I just ordered one! 2 spikes on it, got it from Popow on ebay. This is my 3rd new orchid this week, and I'm still waiting for the other 2 to arrive, also from Popow. (Phal equestris x maculata and Aerangis fastuosa) If the Aerangis becomes project plant, well, I'll already have it, and will need to order the TCs separately!

I'm going to be spending on Saturday I guess... at the RHS London show. Of course if I buy stuff I will have to carry it on the train, but I'm still sure I'll manage.

Am I right in thinking you can't make it to the show Camille? I know last you thought you were not going to get the time off work, but I was not sure if that had changed or not.

Nope, not going. Boss preferred for me to get experiments done. Even without taking a day off to go I would have needed to go to the lab Sat and Sun, so if I went to London I couldn't do experiments on Fri and Mon. Yes it sucks, but I have a deadline to meet to get all of this done. Turns out I could have gone, the mosquito colony is doing poorly so I can't do experiments anyway!

[RosieC]

That sucks, Oh well maybe next year!

Maybe the Peterborough Show.

Hey Ladies, sorry to butt-in, but that's what I'm aiming for this year as I've never been

Rosie, I saw that you put Dendrobium laevifolium in the 'needs more research' category. I would move it to the 'not suitable for the project' list (or whatever it's called), since the price in the EU is 25€. Back in november I had been looking to get this plant (it's so cute!! ), and as far as I could tell Grobraschner is the only one to carry it. I quickly checked it again, but no change. Too bad...

[RosieC]

Thanks Camille, I had actually put it there because I hadn't had time to check through that the details were going to be suitable... I had missed the price but though.

I'm planning on doing the updating and checking tonight that I've been intending all week.
