Summer Project, 2011 (Intermediate) - Sign Up
 

Okay, at the sanction and support of RosieC and others, I am the leader of the 2011 Summer Project! So this will be a learning experience in several ways. Because I wanted to run one originally to get Canadians more involved, this will be slightly more geared towards Canadians.(Not trying to leave ANYONE out here, as I would LOVE to see lots join.)

The process:

1. Compile participants list. (You can sign up by simply replying to this thread)

2. Take plant suggestions and compile a list of plants that fit the criteria. (Which can be done here. http://www.orchidboard.com/community...tml#post403312

3. Vote for final selection.

4. Purchase final selection.

5. Share your new arrival, growing conditions, care tech., success or failure.

6. Have fun!

The deadline that I would like to set for the final decision for Project Plant is in the middle of July, so there is a LOT of time to ponder whether you will join or not! Thank you all for your support and for any help along the way as I do my first MP!

I think I'd like to give it a whirl!

Me too please.

Count me in!

good job stepping up cody! remember to make sure to make a list of participants and their locations. so we can choose a plant available to everyone. also, will there be a maximum price and size?

ill join!-USA

Sign me up too....even though I still need to buy the spring project plant...lol.

make sure to list your country!

EDIT- wow! that sounded harsh and pointed! my apologies! it wasnt meant to be pointed or harsh. just a reminder to everyone, to make things easier on Cody :)

I'm in..... Usa

here is a link to the suggestion thread.

depending on the price, i will participate. i didnt excpect the max price to be so high

Because orchids are generally priceyer in Canada, that is why I set the limit where it is. Also, just because it is a certain price in Canada, it doesn't mean that it will be the same price everywhere else, so, in the US or ind Europe, I am sure the prices will be lower. Even though the average price here in Canada for an orchid is about $32, without shipping and taxes, I decided to round it up for 'safety' measures. Sorry for being unclear about this, I was up late doing this and my parents were trying to get me off the computer! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

thats fine, i know how it is with parents! so the $40 includes shipping?

when i think of canadian prices vs american prices, i generally think of books ( because they have the prices for C and US listed on the back) but i didnt think about how its harder to get the orchids to canada. makes more sense now. thanks! and sorry for questions! :P

I forgot to list my country, which is USA

I will likely participate, depending what plant it is.

Depending what plant it is, I'm in (although a lot of the plants mentioned I have already, and others I have tried). I'm in Canada.

I'm in!

Here's a list of orchid vendors in Canada. I used Clouds in the past but they require a minimum of 50.00 purchase.

and European vendors search engine. Just type the name of the plant and it should give you a list of vendors that carry that plant.

Oh yea! An excuse to buy more than one plant. I hope we go with one from Cloud's:biggrin:

Ahh.. Like the trichoglottis!

Not to be rude or anything, but this is the sign-up thread, so if you could please keep the chit-chat for later, and add the PP suggestions to the appropriate thread, that would be awesome! :)

The titles are similar. I thought I was adding this info in the plant suggestion thread. Anyway Sign me up!

Please sign me up.

I'm in.

Me too please.

Um, isn't it a bit early to be even considering another project? Just wanted to point out that a lot of people haven't even bought the plant from the most recent project! I don't know if I'll join, I'll think about it. Just spent lots of cash on the last project...

i dont think it will be to early, by the time that suggestions get submitted, plants get picked for polls, voting, and then finaly making sure what plants are available, i think it will be a good enough wait from the last project

Count me in

Seems as though our project leader has gone missing?

Please count me in!

Love the trichoglottis too

I will participate as long as it's not a duplicate. My Gastrochillus japonicus should be blooming very soon. The buds are starting to swell up.

AHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :blushing: :blushing: :blushing: :blushing: I have been just a little busy the past few days! AND in two weeks I will be gone for 8 days, so I might not be able to update it as frequently, but after that, school will be done in like 3 weeks! :yikes: :yikes: :yikes: :yikes:

I think I'd like to sign up as well. I am in the States...

Please count me in!

If Enc. vitellina, Gomesa crispa, or Gomesa recurva are choices in the summer project, I'm in. :)

enc vitellina would be my favorite. lets hope one of those three get picked phil

This is why I thought of Gomesa crispa and Gomesa recurva. :)

Plants I had a long time ago...

I no longer have them.

wow! any of the 3 you suggest would be boss!

Is it too late to sign up? I didn't see this before!

Definitely not too late!
