Let's Get Ready For Spring! CONTEST!!!

PHRAG · Feb 27, 2007

Ok, it's time for another contest. To enter, all you have to do is post the name of one orchid you would like to buy in 2007. It could be a species, hybrid or division. Photos are nice, but not required (please ask permission before posting someone else's photo). Each forum member gets one entry, so posting multiple times is not necessary. Each member who posts will have their name entered into a drawing for the following prizes...

Grand Prize: $50 gift certificate to the orchid vendor of the winners choice.
First Prize: $40 gift certificate to the Gore Orchid Conservatory (graciously donated, and we thank you!)
Second Prize: Waiting for sponsorship...

Contest ends March 31st at midnight and the winners will be announced April 1st. Good Luck!

The administrators can modify these rules at any time. This contest is for members residing in the United States only. Please see our International contest thread if you live outside of the U.S.

or this:

Sorry John! I know you said one entry, but I couldn't which one I want more....

Heather · Feb 27, 2007

It's okay Tien, since they're Neo's, I doubt John will yell at you.

I want Gemstone's Randschild.

Thanks to Jon for the photo.

It's the only thing I want....

well, except Pk but honestly after all the drama this weekend I'm re-thinking that! :rollhappy:
Oh, and i'm not eligible of course.

Carol · Feb 27, 2007

I would really like a Paph fairrieanum seedling, and not the alba that all the vendors seem to have now.

MoreWater · Feb 27, 2007

ooooh, my current want is Octomeria aloefolia, which looks like a haworthia with maxillaria flowers. Pic here and more here.

No need to throw my name in the pot - I won the last one so you should make me sit this one out. I wasn't going to post but I given a chance to talk about plants I want, heh.....

SlipperFan · Feb 27, 2007

I'd like to find a Gastrochilus matsuran. Orchidspecies.com says it's a synonym for Gastrochilus fuscopunctatus, but the one I saw had spotted leaves, similar to Paphs. This is fuscopunctatus on orchidspecies.com:

While the Neofinetia above are tempting, I will stick to my guns and search for a Paph. parishii -- so many delightful twisting petals!

Park Bear · Feb 27, 2007

I don't Sander's Pride yet and it is still on my list

Ron-NY · Feb 27, 2007

Well besides wanting the same thing as Heather I also want Paph Garnet Crown (roth x wardii)

Candace · Feb 27, 2007

I want a "nice" paph. venustrum. All the ones I've been seeing are smallish and not very striking. I know nice ones are out there, people post photos of them all the time! I have to be picky since my greenhouse is near bursting.

LWSIS · Feb 27, 2007

I am in th mood for a quality Jason Fischer-one of Chuck Acker's breeding...Larry

Ernie · Feb 27, 2007

Hmmmm... after much deliberation... A division of Hadley Cash's Paph. (victoria-regina var.) kalinae 'Marriott Darkness' AM/AOS.

-Ernie

kentuckiense · Feb 27, 2007

I'm ineligible for the contest, but I'd like to get another Paph. Magic Lantern this spring.

Marco · Feb 27, 2007

i want a neofinetia seikai and paph. sanderianum

gore42 · Feb 27, 2007

What can I say.... I want Paph. hangianum. I don't expect to be able to get one in 2007, but that wasn't one a criterion, was it?

I'll offer the FIRST PRIZE, a gift certificate to the GOC for $40. Or, if someone else wants to top that, it'll be the second prize, or third..... At the moment, my benches are pretty bare. When the weather warms up a bit, though, I'll have a lot more to offer.

- Matthew Gore

bwester · Feb 27, 2007

I'd like to track down a paph. mahonianum :rollhappy:

Leo Schordje · Feb 27, 2007

For me, today I would say it is Paph Gege Hughes 'Harvest Moon' AM/AOS
though there is always another species to get.

kinte · Feb 27, 2007

Blooming size Phalaenopsis gigantea

li'l frog · Feb 27, 2007

Ah, a Phrag kovachii x walisii seedling, large enough to survive. I don't do well with small seedlings. Or a Marriott Orchids pink/white complex. There are so many, I can't decide.
