Default What should I get this time?

Hello, my friends

I'm asking for your sugestions about which genera should I get this time. Lately I'm having symptoms of abstinence but I can't decide.
My requirements are:

Size: Small (not miniature)
Potting: preferencially in pots
Temps: cool in winter and warm/hot in summer
HR: >60% in winter and dry in summer
Light: I can provide all light levels

I can see I'm no lucky (so far) with oncidiums ans zygos.

This should help you narrowing the choices.

Thank you

Eulophia petersii. Look for it at places that sell cacti and succulents. I guarantee you will be very happy with it. If you are not happy with it I will buy you a bottle of wine.

There are somewhere around 1700 genera, eliminating two is not helping much!

I know you have Cymbidiums but what else do you have?

How cool in Winter?

Do you already have Angraecoids?

Will you tell the truth about whether you like it, or are you just angling for a bottle of wine?

Grigsby has it

Yucca Do has it as well
Eulophia petersii

I am heartbroken to find Yucca Do is closing June 1.

ES, it seems interesting but, while I'm not sure, I'affraid it won't be easy to find. I'll take a look tomorrow.

Subrosa, the flowers are beautiful but isn't it a large plant?

AYM, outside I grow cymbs a bletilla and, since yesterday, a zygo.
Inside I have a paph, phals, den, stan, xyl, cambria (miltassia), laelia, catts, onc, etc.

How cold? Inside around 11°C, outside around 5°C with ocasional days bellow frezzing at night. See my signature.

I don't see any Angraecoids on your list! Get an Angraecum or an Aerangis!

If you can water every day, and twice on hot days.
