Let me start you out with one Ross has for it's petite size -
Brassavola sp. 'Mickey Mouse'
Then there is Bl. Morning Glory (B. nodosa x L. purpurata) one I have admired for a long time -

I'm sure I could come up with quite a few more
I'd like to see which others are member's favorites
Al - Are you interested in any particular color or color pattern? ![Scratch chin](http://www.orchidboard.com/community/images/smilies/new/scratchchin.gif)

No, but I can have only one, I would like to know what others would choose if they were in the same situation and why they chose that one. I think you have at least one Dorothy, why did you pick that one and do you wish you had a different one?

I like the 'Mickey Mouse' do to it's small size. It's mounted on a large stick, I have plenty of room for it, and it looks like a miny Brassavola.

I have a B. Little Stars (nodosa x cordata) that I love due to it's reliability. It is always in bloom from around Thanksgiving to well into January. It's a longer leafed variety though, so Keep that in mind.
If you want some color, try Bc Maikai. It's a classic. Or what about Bc. Yellow Bird? Shoot, there are soooo many! You gotta narrow it down for us!

For hybrid, I heard that Bc. Maikai and Bl. Yellow Bird are very good ones. I also heard that they are fragrant at night.
Maikai 'Louise' AM/AOS is a better clone than 'Maiyumi' according to what I'm reading, maybe I'm wrong so correct me.
Bl. Yellow Bird can change color as the blooms age, cool factor!
