New addition suggestions?!?!
I am looking to expand my collection of orchids. Can anyone suggest a good one? I have phals, a den and a laelia. I want something that has light and temperature requirements like those i have. i would like something fragrant if possible and not too too expensive

A Brassavola would do well right next to your Laelia. Or check out some Paphs, they would do well with your Phals.

B. nodosa is a classic, readily available, and not fussy. B. subulifolia [formerly B. cordata] is another relativley common one. The hybrid of the two is B. Little Stars, and is very easy to grow.
B. nodosa has been used a ton in hybridizing. Some are really wild and sometimes fragrant. Bc. Binosa and Bl Yellow Bird, while not fragrant, are a couple hybrids that jump out at me.

Onc. Twinkle  - or Sharry Baby - Twinkle is rather small, nice vanilla-y fragrance. Sharry Baby can be pretty big, lovely chocolate-y fragrance. Blooms not huge and showy tho if that's a criteria. Tho they more than make up for it in quantity of blooms and fragrance. |

Sorry for the delay.
Sunset Valley Orchids has some killer Paphs at very reasonable prices. Here are a few others that carry some nice ones:

Paphs are sold at several stores online- you can find some in the vendor feedback section. Do a quick search online, you'll find millions easily. |
