I love a lot of different orchids and would seriously have trouble eliminating most of the others but if I had to...yep, B nodosa would be the one that stays. |
That's a great choice. Every time my mom comes over she comments on how interesting it is. I keep offering her a division, but I don't think she wants to get addicted. I'll keep offering though!  |

I can see why that would be your top choice! If I had a plant with that kind of sentimental value it would head straight to the top of my list too!
My mom used to take me to Frank's nursery when I was little to pick out crafts!! We drove by what used to be an old Frank's the other day, she said she really misses going to Frank's! |

yes fondly remembered
Frank's was the cause of my orchid growing habit. I like many thought that they expensive and difficult. My first orchid was TLC beautiful purple for $9. I did kill that one. I got also got a nice dendrobium -noid planted in a block of wood so it could not be overwatered.
My old timers are my favorites: A Pot Haiku Gem, A golden tang, Sharry-baby.

If I really really had to choose just one it would be Masdevallia veitchianna. It just grows and grows and never stops flowering. It started tiny, was the reason I bought a greenhouse, and I just love it.
But I would hate to only have the one... I need all the others too  |

Hmmm, interesting thread...if I had to narrow it down to just one I think that I'd be with Rosie, Masd. veitchiana...now that I have all that gh bench space freed up I might as well increase my epiphytic cactus collection though...

Well I hate just picking one also but if I did it would be my Phrag Les Diroulles.... Sorcerer's Apprentice 4N / Grande 4N
I got it from a friend that owns a Floral Business and it had quit blooming so he gave it o me. I did not know how to take care of it properly and it took me 2 years to get it to re-bloom when it did I was in Love 
Even over my Mannii and my Equestris which I also Love |

I hope I never have to make such a decision in real life, but hypothetically, from all my plants this one would be to stay - Paph. Prince Edward of York:
