Zygopetalum Blue Blazes
Zygoneria Adelaide Meadows
Diacrium bicornutum
Blc. Chia lin "Shinsu"
Ada aurantiaca
Cattleya walkeriana
Laelia anceps

Bollea violacea arrives tomorrow, and I'm very excited (I finally found it!). As for the rest of them, well, I'm willing to wait...a bit. I'm gonna save myself some summer job money, and when next semester starts, I'm gonna work on adding more than a few of these. Of course, I'll probably see something else I like along the way, and there's a good chance it will make it onto the list.

...and there goes all the space on my balcony LOL.

Your wishlist looks like mine: very long!

The ones that I really want at the moment are:

Phal pulchra (getting next week!)
Saccolabium Quisumbingii (maybe also next week)
Den aberrans (getting next week!)
Phal tetraspis
Phal violacea
Phal Penang's girl
Lycaste aromatica
Den victoriae-reginae
Den harveyanum
Paph delenatii
Paph pinnochio
Paph henryanum
Max tenuifolia
More Neofinetia (any kind!)
Darwinara Charm x Neofinetia falcata

There are plenty more, but those are my top 15! And I can take some off the list next week when I order 2-3 of them.

I'm with Snow, except I have a roth(in bud!!). What I would like to get is paph. St Swithin and paph. Julius. What I really wish for is more room, but the person in charge of interior decor has put her foot down and said "No More". It's time for subterfuge.

Just got a Den v-r it's very small but I hope it's still close to BS. the delenatii and henryanum are excellent choices, I love both of mine!

For the Den I'm still kicking myself from having to pass one up at the last show I went to in the fall. I didn't notice that a stand was selling it until I had spent all my money!

I'm going to a show at the end of the month, maybe I'll find it there!

I am still mainly growing phals (have to admit I really like them

) and paphs so I'm afraid my list isn't as varied as some of the lists in this thread.

Right now I am loving Phal stuartiana var. nobilis (yellow!) and Phal Taida Sunshine (cross of equestris and tetraspis). Don't know if either is available here in Canada. I did find a source in the US for Phal stuartiana var. nobilis, but it's worth mega $$$!

Ones I don't have yet but would really like to try is Coelogyne, especially C cristata, and Neofinetia.
