| Oak Hill Gardens Supply List OK, In order to be eligible for the growing project, every member MUST forgive me for all this confusion.   Lots of sidetracking happening....you've got to also trust me on thisI spent a good part of the day contacting vendors and after all is said and done, Mike's communications with Oak Hills Gardens, has turned out to be the most sensible choice of vendors with a nice variety of plants in which to choose from, very fair pricing being offered to us and a reputation to trust that once we decide which orchid for the project, one that will be in good health! Le Chiam! Oak Hill Gardens This is the only possible way in which to offer everyone a variety without it becoming a gazillion plants from which to start elmininating for a final vote. Take a look at the Oak Hills' wholesale price list and choose up to 3 plants from that list. Please get your count in by Wednesday.....here, in this thread!

| Thank you for posting the list. I was afraid that we'd be getting reg. rates and due to closing on my new house in a few weeks...I'd have had to back out. I'll post my selection shortly. By the way, the new place has 4 windows on the corner. 2 on the east and 2 on the south wall so the corner area is sweet for my chids. |

| Will we be voting on the Top 5 still? It might be a good idea, once we have a Top 5, to find out how long until they might bloom. |

| Because our growing areas are likely to exhibit a fairly wide range of conditions, I'd recommend a hybrid as hybrids are typically more tolerant of wider ranging conditions.

| Your point is well taken Kevin - I think Jerry also mentioned that hybrids would be better choices from which to choose if/when looking for the most potential for the success for the highest numbers of participants. This may or may not be what this group is looking for? Maybe a number of people have always wanted to try some species plants and have never done so and this is an opportunity to dip their toes in the water? Maybe we can make this an annual event and can look back at this year's experience and learn from it? That would be cool wouldn't it? One thing I am anxious about from the list is knowing how far along some of the choices might be? If they don't say nbs they could be as many as 3-4 YEARS from blooming (?). My local orchid club received cattleya plugs Christmas 2006 as gifts and were told this was the case. They looked like pretty nice little plants (and for free Christmas gifts who is complaining? - but in a year's time have not done much for any of us - several more years to go! Many of these plants sure have a way of teaching us patience, or showing how we have a lack thereof. Since most know I'm basically a phal guy I'll choose a trio of nbs phals bastianii equetris shilleriana Truthfully I can be happy with any of them - it will be fun to just be part of the group and participating and sharing experiences. |

What it really all comes down to is what is the point of the project? Is it simply to all grow the same plant and compare every once in a while? Is it to try to draw some conclusions as to what culture is best for them? Is it to collectively grow a particular species and thereby gain some expertise with it? The answer may influence the choice of what to grow.

| It seems like more people want to grow a species. Seems like if that's what everyone wants to grow, why not? The list available in the oakhill wholesale hybrid list is short, and unappealing.
