Nice list Shams...I grow Dendrobium amethystoglossum, and it can get quite large as well--the canes on mine are about 12" in length and it is still not of blooming size... so this one might be a bit too large. It does grow like a weed for me, and has the added advantage of loving cold (I keep it with cymbidiums) winter temps

[QUOTE=shams;89354]Ok.... so I've compiled a list of plants that are available in the US, Europe and Canada, that meet the criteria ( I think) and that we haven't listed yet (I think again). I started from the Canadian sites and went from there, since... well... there are so few of them

I was trying not to list species that we haven't used yet, and I had to leave at some point to get chinese food, since I hadn't eaten all day, so... if I'm wrong, I'm sorry .

I figure SOME of these should put us over 20


Cattleya skinneri: intermediate to hot growing (but it says intermediate!), 5.5inches long, fragrant, dry winter rest
20"


Dendrobium amethystoglossum: intermediate, winter rest, fragrant..... I can't figure out how tall it is. Kinda tired
18-39"


Anguloa uniflora: Bizarrare! intermediate, fragrant, grows to a max of 12"
IOSPE PHOTOS
Has possibilities...what do you all think?


Bifrenaria tyrianthina: Also kind of weird, intermediate, fragrant, short
20"


Angraecum didieri: mini, intermediate, fragrant, HUGE flower for plant size
*trying to avoid previously used genus


Angraecum elephantinum: mini to small sized, intermediate, winter bloomers
*trying to avoid previously used genus


Bulbophyllum ambrosia: small, cool to hot, fragrant, also called "The Sweet-Smelling Bulbophyllum"!
IOSPE PHOTOS
Love this one! What do the rest of you think?


Bulbophyllum sumatranum: intermediate, small, shaded
IOSPE PHOTOS
This one works too...haven't read anything about "fragrance"


Dendrobium tortile: hot to cool, fragrant, small to medium sized, winter rest
IOSPE PHOTOS
The word "medium" in the size description makes me wonder...I had to remove 2 from our list that said medium and were both rather tall. Can anybody find actual size info?


Dendrobium loddigesii: intermediate, mini, fragrant
IOSPE PHOTOS
This one is a great choice...it can get very large if you let it ramble or you can keep it trimmed as needed. Continuously puts out keikis, which can be removed OR turn them back towards the mount (tree-fern for mine) and let it be happy


Dendrobium rigidum: mini, intermediate (Andy's says so!) fragrant
WARM-HOT
*already on our "no good" list...Orchidwiz quotes temps at 88 to 90 day and 75 night. Those are tough numbers for some of our members to meet.


Dendrobium tetragonum: intermediate, fragrant, might be too tall, hard to say
IOSPE PHOTOS
Great plant, I have two but would get another


Dendrochilum uncatum: small, hot to cool, fragrant
No Orchidwiz info available


Dracula platycrater: small, intermediate .....pointy
Med-large plant with spikes up to 20"


Epidendrum nocturnum: intermediate, fragrant, might be too tall
39"


Gongora armeniaca: intermediate, small, fragrant
IOSPE PHOTOS
It works, but needs to grow downwards...what do you all think?


Sigmatostalix graminea: mini, intermediate, only one hit in europe :P
IOSPE PHOTOS
This one's good


Sigmatostalix picta: hot to cool, mini
IOSPE PHOTOS
This one's good


Niki, you did a great job on the list. I've added some further info under each one.

Thank you

No problem... this is apparently what I did today instead of homework...or indeed... eating. Kind of got caught up in it



ok... I'm done being crazy now. I'm good with any of the ones that can work.

Cool, Niki

cowboy, if a Bulb wins, it's the perfect opportunity for you to try something new. You might just fall in love with one!
