I leave for 1 day and you guys put on 10 pages of chatter on a new project. And all without me.
Ok, I am just now getting over the loss of L. perrinni AGAIN! At least someone brought it up. Always second place, never first.
Anyhow, I second
Bulbophyllum acuminatum and I would love to join. I have looked over many of the suggestions and also like the little Catts types but the Bulbo is my fav.
In addition, I have one statement. I already have Bulbo tingabarinum and if it is voted as the project plant there is no sense in me joining in on the project. But I don't want that to cause the plant to be ousted from the list. Life goes on without me you know.

Ok...well I don't want to hold up the poll just because I am waiting to hear if othres think these two are not colorful enough, so I am going to nominate the Bulbo psychoon!

as of now, we have 11 people signed up (I'm amazed, by the way  ) and 20 plants. The math doesn't work!
Out of the 12 remaining plants from previous projects, we can remove L perrinii and C intermedia as they both might get too large to be considered a project plant.
I feel that we need to limit the poll to 15 plants so if we remove those two, we can add 5 new ones. If you guys want to keep those two, then we can choose just 3 more.
Lots of great suggestions have been made...thanks everybody...but we must fine-tune them.
So far the list is as follows:
Lepanthes elegantula
IOSPE PHOTOS
Gastrochilus calceolaris
IOSPE PHOTOS
LEPTOTES unicolor
IOSPE PHOTOS
KEFERSTEINIA tolimensis
IOSPE PHOTOS
MAXILLARIA sophronitis
IOSPE PHOTOS
Phal lindenii
IOSPE PHOTOS
Masdevallia infracta
IOSPE PHOTOS
Leptotes bicolor
IOSPE PHOTOS
Laelia jongheana
IOSPE PHOTOS
Encyclia faresiana
IOSPE PHOTOS
Laelia pumila
IOSPE PHOTOS
Masdevallia erinacea
IOSPE PHOTOS
Trichoglottis pusilla
IOSPE PHOTOS
Bulbo psychoon
IOSPE PHOTOS
Laelia reginae
IOSPE PHOTOS
UPDATE: We now have our final poll list!  |
Okay...we're ready!!! 
I am posting the poll now...and sending an email to all participants on the list. Please vote as quickly as possible...we have an opportunity to get these shipped before the end of this week!
Thanks everybody! I can't believe we accomplished this so fast!

Dorothy: The Encyclia wasn't easily available so I entered the Laelia you suggested.
Becca: I entered your choice of the Bulbophyllum.
