I have an empty space on my plant shelf that I'm looking to fill. I have limited space (and limited money), so I can't get all the plants on my wish list. Of the following, which one would you choose? I'm more of a cattleya guy, so...

Miltonidium Cindy 'Pinky Lee'
Cattleya Jenmanii
Oncidium Opalescent 'On the Edge'
Odontonia/Oncidopsis Papageno

All of them look amazing, I love Odontonia, however if limited space than I would go with something that does not grow big, and my Oncidiums are really growing to huge measurements, so maybe the Cat would be a good choice? Anyway, any you get will be great collection filler:-)

I have room for one small to moderately sized orchid. I have a few oncidium type orchids, namely miltonidiums, wilsonaras, but no odontonias. Disregarding the space factor, would you recommend the odontonia over the cattleya?

I have no clue, I do grow Cattleyas, I do grow Oncidiums, but I have never had Odontonia, it is very pretty though, probably my favorite one right after the Cattleya from all 4:-)
