If you could have one orchid. . .

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.

Cattleya violacea var. coerulea (with excellent flower form)
