Many of us read with interest about the large plant that was divided and sent out to a number of members around the first of the year - and the interest of all the recipients in comparing notes as their section grows (or doesn't) compared to other recipients.
How about a similar (yet different) challenge where members (that are so inclined to participate) all purchase the same plant (or even 2-3 if desired) and all grow in their area and then periodically we compare notes and pics and see what conditions, environment and culture has the most success? If we could figure out the logistics I would be willing to secure plants (or anyone else could too for that matter if they were so inclined).
If so, what kind of plants would you all be inclined to try this on? My preference would be phals, paphs, or catts.
Our local orchid society does this periodically - we all start with the same plant - and then a year later we all bring them in and compare. It is amazing to see the difference.
What do you all think??????
