multi-growths (20+) Paph. micranthum along with a grower who can bloom every year for me. ( is it too much to ask??)

It's if you can have any, not have only one.

OH I get it now!
Okay then, well I already have 3 Cypripedium reginaes, so that doesn't count.
The #1 plant on my wishlist right now is Cypripedium kentuckiense.  But I also really want a Cyp. rebunense. Because the latter is rarer, I would probably take it over the kentuckiense. |

A full-sized Dendrochilum macranthum (aka Dendrochilum magnum). Saw one in full bloom once, more than two feet tall and overflowing a 12-inch wood basket, at least fifty inflorescences. Jaw-droppingly spectacular. Alas, no room for that until I get a greenhouse in my next life!  |

We should add a "without limitations of money" caveat.  |

For me I reckon Cypripedium calceolus. Not sure if that is the one in our OB logo or not, if not it's very close.
I think this is a UK native, and I just love it... not something you ever see wild though, I think they are very rare in the wild.

Tough question. I can't pin it down to just one. 
In my case, it would probably be a blooming-size Bollea lalindei. Not the easiest orchid to find. 
Three other possibilities would be Vanda celebica, Galeottia nigrescens, and Paph. hangianum. Not easy to come by, either. |
