Dave: I'm actually really glad you bumped this because I didn't see it before.

Anyways, I had to go with Phals. ♥ ♥ ♥ Even though I really like paphs ♥ too and I could see myself eventually getting hooked on Catts...mine hasn't bloomed yet.
But I remember being at the orchid show and the first thing that greeted me when I walked in the door were these ginormous fluffy phal blooms and it was such an amazing experience that it just kind of stuck with me. I think they were blowing me hello kisses. So I have to blow them back.

I'm glad this was bumped too, I had not seen it. For me it was a fast decision. Pleuros! I grow quite a few of them, their flowers and growth forms really please me and I find them very challenging too. Coming is as a close second are the Bulbos, same reasons, except thanks to their heat tolerance a bit easier to handle.
I guess my interests in orchids have gone in phases.
I have had my Phal phase, and Bulbo phase and now I guess I am in my Pleuro phase, except this phase is lasting much longer.
One alliance that hasn't done much for me at all are Dendrobiums. I don't know why, I just don't like them. And I seem to have a few of them (gifts from my wife's side of the family) so I am forbidden to get rid of them.

I am also glad to see this one bumped. At the moment the top 3 is what I have with a tolken Thunia, thanks to Patricia Harding. I really can not say that my plant acquisitions have gone in phases other than in recent years I have expanded a little into a few other vandaceous. Still can not be without my Cattleyas and Phals. One thing that I have never been able to understand is why Phals were separated into their own alliance. They are still vandaceous no matter how you what to look at them.

I am going to have to be the curmudgeon here. Why oh why do you have to limit yourself to one alliance? I just am not a person for "favorites". Color, time of year, car, orchid alliance, well you get my drift.
