PHALAENOPSIS amboinensis - won by 5, not 6. MaryAnna did not sign up for the project and therefore, disqualified from the voting. (As well, not an active member, with only 3 prior posts but, we'd love to have her join in!)
Paphiopedilum spicerianum - won by 4, not 5. Nenella had not signed up for the project and therefore, disqualified from the voting (but not the project participation).
As it was brought up recently, consideration to members wanting an alternative choice from the winning orchid was suggested and agreed on. So instead of doing another poll and being that the runner up’s in this poll resulted in a 3 way tie (4 votes each), members will have a choice of 4 species to choose for the project.

International members: I've been trying to gain access to the thread "Oak Hill New & Improved Plant List" in this forum but the site, as you know, has been up and down today due to maintainence and I haven't been too successful at this time to get in to it. There are a few links there for purchasing. As well, check on
Internet Orchid Species Photo Encyclopedia for additional links to purchasing websites.
After you have placed your order, please let me know by posting here, in this thread which orchid you are waiting to receive. Fred will be setting up sub forums, specifically for this project.
It would probably be a good idea to start off by making sure your cameras batteries are charged and taking a pic of your plant upon receiving it and then after you've transferred it into your desired mediums, pots, where you've set up, what conditions you're growing in, etc., etc. and any information you've found about the species you're growing.
Are we all happy? I reeeeealy hope so.
