Talking New Orchids!!!

Before the orchids, a small story...
I was volunteering with UNICEF in Nigeria and got severe acute pancreatitis and got 'emergency medically evacuated' to South Africa (Johannesburg).
Its my last few days at the hospital now and just contracted orchid fever again so I ordered 2 phals, 2 paphs, 1 cattleya, and 2 vandas from Cape Town (Due to arrive tomorrow!!!)
But I feel as if these aren't enough (although im gonna have problems taking them to Pakistan... there's gonna be so many.
I want suggestions on what more to get. some really beautiful ones that i cant think of right now...
That's about it.

Burrageara Nelly Isler 'Swiss Beauty' is a great choice. Bright red flowers, great fragrance, blooms three times a year...I just bought a friend one as I love mine so much.

Sounds like you're on the road to recovery. Glad you're better. Nothing like a few orchids to lift your spirits I like your selections.

How are you going to talk them into letting you take them back home??? I would be pretty worried. Bless you for doing volunteer work...Ginnibug
