Want to order my first flask...but what?

[My Green Pets]

I want to try deflasking and growing some baby orchids.

I'd love to start out with one of my wish list plants, like Paph rothschildianum or Cattleya rex, but I imagine this is overly ambitious and wanted to check with you all first.

I've read specifically that rothschild can be 10 years from seedling to blooming adult. But I'm not opposed to the idea of becoming intimately familiar with a plant's preferences over the course of a decade. And if they die, well, I'll try again.

Still, perhaps there are some orchids that are better for beginning de-flaskers? Any suggestions? Anyone with flasks just sitting around, needing a home?
