TOP 3 (or 5 for you compulsive types)

Back again with two more favorites. I just love my Onc. Sharry Baby 'Sweet Fragrance'. Fragrant, huge, pretty, fast growing, loves to flower... Then my other one is, well, can't really decide. What's the other one? Hmmm...hard to decide, maybe the yellow onc...or the noid phal

[Meg25]

1.Psychopsis Mendenhall 'Hildos' great folliage and dramatic flowers -

2. Phal schilleriana- don't own it... yet!

3. Onc. SharryBaby 'yellow panda' - I just got this plant this morning and already I know I can't live without it! - Great scent, sharry baby colored flowers with yellow tips, what more could I want?

[TundraKev]

Didn't think I could do this, but after some thought:

Barkeria melanocaulon
Epidendrum magnoliae var. magnoliae
Laelia lundii
Maxillaria sanguinea

1.Psychopsis Mendenhall 'Hildos' great folliage and dramatic flowers -

Yeah, this one is awesome--any and all Psychopsis rock!

3. Onc. SharryBaby 'yellow panda' - I just got this plant this morning and already I know I can't live without it! - Great scent, sharry baby colored flowers with yellow tips, what more could I want?

What more could you want? The answer is Oncidium Sharry Baby 'Red Fantasy'! I'd happily trade [my soul] for this one. I didn't say that--oh, yeah I guess I did! Oh well, my soul is cheap. (At least it goes with the rest of me! LOL)


Cheers,

Phrag caudatum
Polycycnis barbata
Catt walkeriana

No particular order and I reserve the right to change my mind every ten minutes.

[Ennui]

I'll mix it up a little,
and say three I'm dying to have
(but continue to torture myself by not buying them)
and two I absolutely could not part with.
No photos, so colorful and flowery descriptions will have to suffice.

Must Have

1. Angraecum distichum

I have this guy bookmarked, I look at it every day.
miniature, fragrant, braided leaves. *sigh*

2. Blc. Chia Lin

Red, full and floofy, and fragrant!
It doesn't matter which one either, 'New City', 'PCT', or 'Shinsu #1'
or NoId.

3. Gongora Pterodactyl or Atropurpurea

Even though they are short lived bloomers, I can't
resist that grotesque-faerie shape, and rich red coloring.
Oh, yeah, and did I mention they're fragrant, too?

Must Not Ever Part With

1. Phrag. Bouley Bay

Blooms: Large (4 x 8"), nice shape (upright, slightly curly dorsal, and long ribbony tails),
interesting colors (red and peach, and yellowy cream and salmon), sequential/multifloral. Plant has easy care, too.
Best flowers for making me happy, just to see them.

2. Paph. Delenatii

Has the most interesting mottled purple foliage,
and is a small size so it doesn't take up 2 ft square like Bouley Bay does.
And also has the cutest round shaped blooms, with a little purple button nose.
The flowers are also covered with a very fine hair, so when
you put your nose real close to the flower to smell the faint raspberry/vanilla scent,
they gently brush your skin like velvet.
