Hey everyone. I'm new to the board and to growing orchids. I'd love to join in on the project. I look forward to learning and having fun. I'm located in New York on Long Island. Hope to hear back soon

so if we are close between say two, can you tell us so that we can tip the vote in our favor...lol....and how many times are we allowed to change our mind during this week....lol....Just joking! I thought I was ready to place my vote.....but I don't think I really am....to many choices! AHHHHHHHH

I hope there is a prize for the person who kills their plant first because I will surely win if it's a Masdi.

Here is a solution to my indecisiveness.....how about we just make sure whatever vendor (I know this is the next step) we just make sure that they carry the Bletilla, Leptotes, Masdevallia, and the Laelia lundii.....then that would solve all of my problems.....oh wait I forget there are others....lol.....just joking!

I've picked my top four,( catt, masd. and the two laelia's) I'm going to visit Andy's Orchids tomorow to see which is easist to grow in my area as I need all the help that I can get, his place is about 20 minutes from my house.

One great thing about Masdies... they are small enough she'll never notice! I've got quite a few past my husband. I think he just thinks the ones in the aquarium are doing incredibly well and growing like mad - some seem to double their size over night!

I'm working on getting the poll posted.

A few things I need to go over:

1. Each member participating in the project gets just ONE vote. Only votes from our participating members will be counted:
http://www.orchidboard.com/community...ng-strong.html

2. The poll will be open for 7 days.

3. At the end of that time, the plant with the highest number of votes is the winner...with this next issue being very important.....

4. In the U.S., we have 37 members participating.
We will need to make sure the vendor we'd like to use has enough plants to supply all the plants needed. We will try a number of vendors, if necessary.

***If we exhaust our vendor options and are unable to find one who can supply all of us,
we will have to then try for the plant with the next highest number of votes.

Have fun
