Let me start you out with one Ross has for it's petite size -
Brassavola sp. 'Mickey Mouse'
Then there is Bl. Morning Glory (B. nodosa x L. purpurata) one I have admired for a long time -
Bl Morning Glory
Bl. Morning Glory H&R
I'm sure I could come up with quite a few more
I'd like to see which others are member's favorites 
Al - Are you interested in any particular color or color pattern?

No, but I can have only one, I would like to know what others would choose if they were in the same situation and why they chose that one. I think you have at least one Dorothy, why did you pick that one and do you wish you had a different one?

I like the 'Mickey Mouse' do to it's small size. It's mounted on a large stick, I have plenty of room for it, and it looks like a miny Brassavola.

I don't do most Dendros or large, "floofy orchids". For me it's minis (like Angraecoides), Masdies, Paphs, and others that crept in somewhere along the line. See my orchid list for complete collection (usually not current.)

I have a B. Little Stars (nodosa x cordata) that I love due to it's reliability. It is always in bloom from around Thanksgiving to well into January. It's a longer leafed variety though, so Keep that in mind.
If you want some color, try Bc Maikai. It's a classic. Or what about Bc. Yellow Bird? Shoot, there are soooo many! You gotta narrow it down for us!

For hybrid, I heard that Bc. Maikai and Bl. Yellow Bird are very good ones. I also heard that they are fragrant at night.
Maikai 'Louise' AM/AOS is a better clone than 'Maiyumi' according to what I'm reading, maybe I'm wrong so correct me.
Bl. Yellow Bird can change color as the blooms age, cool factor!
