Plant like Howeara Lava Burst

Show and Sale was very disappointing...small, only one vendor (a Paph specialist and I don't grow paphs). I was so disappointed that I had to order from Hausermann this morning to overcome my disappointment.

That does sounds very disappointing, and I think you found the perfect remedy! So, what did you order?

Galeopetalum Starburst 'Parkside' - New Genera/type for me.
Dendrobium Green Lantern 'Red Carpet' - Looked covetingly at this for a couple years.
Dendrobium (bracteosum x tanii) - I've had one previously, liked it for several years, then killed it with neglect (watering)
Tolumia Jarak Firm Super Brown - I have killed several mounted Tolumnias, but this one is potted, maybe I will have better luck?

I would love dendrobium cuthbersonii or other similar NZ plants, but I am too hot and dry for them to make it through summer easily. Plus it's awfully easy to miss watering them enough in the summer. I've tried a couple times
