They are all beautiful but I especially like the 'Golden Beauty'. Great colors. Good growing.

Thank you. It's great to see so many flowers when so many of my plants are not yet flowering size. Quite a few friends have emailed me about 'Golden Beauty'. It is a particularly lovely flower.

I love this one. This was the first named orchid I ever bought.

Just so you know (because I also got it wrong when I first had mine) this is not a 'Golden Beauty' cultivar (and so should not be named with quotes). The full correct name of the registered hybrid is Sin-Yuan Golden Beauty. The Golden Beauty being part of the hybrid name rather than being a cultivar name.

This means if you were to buy another it might vary from this more than it would if it was a particular cultivar. That being said all the ones I've seen in the UK are pretty similar.

Anyway, that's just for information, I'm not trying to be picky. It's a wonderful flower, I love it when mine is in bloom
