Unfortunately I kind of agree with you AK - the hybrid list doesn't seem all the exciting to me either - that is why my choice are all species phals - none of which I have. If there were some more attractive hybrids available that would have probably been my first choice. Maybe we can do some research and find a good hybrid list to choose from for next year if it doesn't work out for this year.
Kevin - the point of the project from my perspective it to enjoy the comradarie of growing the same plant together and find out what kind of culture and conditions work for a particular plant. Will it be a failure if we pick a species plant and two years later 15 are dead, 5 are near death and two are doing well - because it was a poor selection. No. We would have all learned something as long as we compare notes and enjoy the experience together. Does someone else see something different here?
