What's your favorite orchid?

[rtsingleton]

It's a hard choice, but out of any species or hybrid of any variety, which one floats your boat the most?

I have to choose paph sanderianum for myself!

For me it would be the V. Robert's Delight that is the first orchid to bloom due to my care although as i have more orchids now the next one to bloom my take its place as my fav at least until the vanda blooms again.

I can't do it...I just can't choose!

It use to be just Phals. Then paphs, then it was Catts. Now I think it's Tolumnias (I only have one so far, but it's quite a beauty) and soon it will be Miltoniopsis. I guess what my favorite is....is whatever is in bloom at the time. Oh, and my ongoing love of Angraecums (although I've yet to see a bloom from any of them, but they are so unique).
Having orchids are like having children...you can't favor one over the other.

Sophronitis coccinea or Dendrobium cuthbertsonii, but both show my preference for minis.

I have favorites within each genus but there's no way I could choose "a favorite"

I really love my Cattleya gaskelliana semi-alba because she is my first and only orchid, i have seen a bunch of others that are just stunning but mines (Agatha) is always going to be my first one : D

I tend to favor slippers, but I could never pick just 1!

Wow, what a question! It's like a Sophie's choice - which of my CHILDREN is the favorite? Answer? None, because I love them all equally!

WAY too difficult to pick out one single orchid. Especially since I'm relatively new to orchids. I could maybe say, however, that currently my most most favorite type are the little rupicolous Laelias. But SO many other faves too!!!
