Best Species Orchids

He has some nice diplocaulobiums. Phalaenopsis species might work for low light conditions

Holcoglossum wangii. Andy just recently told me they are in bloom. They're temperature tolerant. Low light growing. They have decent sized flowers that are showy. Fairly easy to grow, but can still offer a little bit of a challenge without frustrating anybody.

I've grown Diplocaulobiums before, and they tend to be moderate to high light growing orchids. They are not necessarily the most hardy of orchids, and I might even say they grow moderately slow. They grow intermediate in temperature range. Flowers also don't last very long, but they are known to bloom repeatedly, (if you're ok with this, then they're pretty cool plants).

Andy has one Notylia species (trisepala), and about 10 Oberonia. Ask Katrin to get you the correct Oberonia species names, which I sent her a after the Southland Orchid Show.
Notylia is particularly tricky to get. Santa Barbara Orchid Estate has one more, and I pre-ordered some from Peruflora. I think so far I managed to get four or five species of Notylia, about 30 of Oberonia. There are about 60-70 Notylia species and about 150-300 Oberonia.
