I recently took the plunge and got one, I think two years from blooming if I am very lucky.

Ooooh gonna have to check that out.

Do they deflask or only sell them flasked? I have not had great success in the two attempts I made at de-flasking and tiny dead orchids make me sad

Just a couple that I have any reason to believe I might actually be able to grow:

Phalaenopsis I-Hsin The Big Bang. I've only ever seen two of these, and apparently they cannot be found for sale nowadays. The color and pattern of the flowers is absolutely unique and just strikes a chord with me. I would love to find one someday.

Phalaenopsis schilleriana. Yes, I know, pretty common, but I don't have one because of their reputation for growing to a very large size. I'm probably maxed out on larger Phals right now.

Now, if we're talking about a list of fantasy orchids that are just that, with no hope that I could ever grow them here, that would include a number of genera, some that I've tried and given up on, and many others I've known better than to even try.
