What are your favourite orchids?
For me in there would have to be Cym devon odyssey (honourable mention to Cym wallacia 'burnt gold' and the Cym sarah jeans) in there somewhere, i think Cyms are the kings of the orchid world.
I also have a soft spot for the Den speciosums and Den kingianum hybrids (esp. the latest breeding between kingianum and bigibbum, like Den Elegant Lace 'Vibrant' and Den warrigul 'Magenta')
I'm also in awe of a giant display from Phal schilleriana and my favourite Paph is Paph Raisin Candy [...]
I like all of the Cats (Blc, Slc, Lc, L, Pot) that have lots of different colours and flares and things.
Oh yeah and i love Stanhopeas but i haven't gotten mine to bloom as of yet.
....
OK so i tried to name one and i named like 50.
So what are yours?

I love my cochleanthes( Amazing, White Knight and marginata), eurychone rothschildiana and my laelia reginae. I adore my phal violaceas crosses and my phal equistris plants. Of course, I can't forget my B. nodosa hybrids/crosses - I just love their scent  All my orchids are my favorites  |

My first love were the Masdevallias. Now, I am really drawn to the mini Dendrobiums... cuthbertsonii, senile, toressae, vexillarius, and other smaller ones like jacobsonii and tetragonum. There is so much variety there!! Oh, and I'm quite taken with those Aerangis, thanks to being introduced to them with the project plant.

My all time favorite and most sought after is Trisetella hoeijeri. I'd give my left nut for one of those. Otherwise I love the diversity of bloom shapes and smells of the bulbophyllums.

 You can spare your parts - (you might need it later) - so put the scissor down and step away from the table.
It's at SLO Orchids mounted for $30 - SLO Orchids Catalog Page
or at Andy's mounted for $25 - Andy's Orchids - Orchids Species - Orchid search by species, genus, country of origin, care and growing atTRibutes - Select the genus and species and click on Search and waaah laaaaaaa
