Thanks for the recommendations. I didn't realize it could get that large! I'll look into C. Nancy Off in the spring. Waldor orchids isn't selling anything online, unfortunately, during the colder months.

Your C. callistoglossa is beautiful, isurus79. Those flowers have a slender, elegant look. And the smell of fruit loops sounds interesting, haha.

I'm not familiar with Laelia purpurata but hopefully it's not like some of the Mexican Laelias. The latter (finckeniana, at least) seem to ramble everywhere and need direct sun to flower.

I'll look into that one as well, thanks!
