Great, thanks! I'll shoot him an email and ask what he has hidden in his greenhouse.

i am in for any of the suggestions, i have a few and they are not amazing me so i would benefit from some advice and ideas.

my vote is unicum only bc i have killed that and never tried again

I would be willing to give unicum a shot as well.
I'd also do a Leptotes. Not because I love them but because somehow I just killed a bicolor and I'm not sure what happened. Autopsy results are pending.

Michael Tibbs ships his plants to the us via high desert orchids. He has macodes petola. I’m planning on doing an order with him soon and they ship about once a month to the states. I’ve ordered before with him and was happy with the plants.

Has Den. antennatum ever been considered?
Fragrant and has interesting flowers and can be grown over a fairly wide temperature range.
I'm not sure how available it is but there are also lots of really nice hybrids.

If the group is open to larger plants, why not?.

I really love this Den (and all antelope types) but I would probably sit it out if it were project plant. I've seen an entire bench full of these in bloom, and with spikes they were well over 2ft tall. I have no space for that. Andy has some on his website and it is listed as 18in with 10in spikes.
