I dunno! The flower (too me!) is just not very attractive. I cant put my finger on it!!  The wierd thing is, I will probably end up loving it at some point. My absolute favorite orchids are the ones that used to think were absolutely hideous (all Stanhopinae, Catasetinae and even bifoliate Catts). Im kinda weird I guess. Watch, Ill end up being bellina's most prolific breeder in a few years!! lol |

Well, since I have both but neither have bloomed I can't participate in the poll. Just from past experience tho........I'd go with bellina.

Neo for sure... an easy grower, very tolerant, super fragrance - but not overpowering - just 'fresh' and its a small plant so you have space for more than one! But what really does it for me is the variety colours and shapes available.

Got a Neo today from Oak Hill....Hmmm... not in flower, but the whole plant look nice and bushy. Still I will vote for bellina because I love the lush green shiny leaves of bellina. None has flowered for me yet. I used to have the clone 'Montclair' that I rescued (unsuccessfully). Another one that I have is from Big Leaf: Phal. bellina 'Chin yo', a very nice looking plant. I'm hoping for some flower this fall...

It's as big as (and resemble) a clump of Spanish moss lol, not big at all, but I was said that it's a blooming size. Very tiny!
