Good minis/mounts for lights and east windows?
I love Paphs and Phals, but I'd like to branch out a little. I have good tall (but thin) eastern windows and also shelves with T8 HO lighting giving good low to medium light levels.
Can anyone suggest some good minis/ mounts I might branch out with? I have been considering Angraecum didieri, Gastrochilus somai, Sediria (Aerides) japonica, and Haraella oderata, but I just read Ross's article on the Gastrochilus, which was a little disconcerting for someone with my amateurish setup, and I think the Haraella may be more than I can handle too.
I am also looking at Acopera galeatea, Cischweinfia sheehanae (pusilla), and Stanhopea jenischiana (not exactly miniatures, hee hee).
Obviously, I'm looking for something DIFFERENT. Should I be warned away from any more of the plants listed above? Can you recommend any others, especially minis and mounts?
