Default New Vandaceous Blooms...and a Doritaenopsis

Hey All,
I've got a few Vandaceous plants blooming for their first time, plus a new Doritaenopsis I've just added to my collection. Here are some pics with short write-ups:

#1 - Ascda. (Ascda. Chartreuse Gold x V. Charles Goodfellow); this is one I purchased at the WOC in January. It's the first time it’s bloomed for me...and I'm excited about the 3 keikis growing at the base!
#2 -Ascda. Ellen Wells; I've had this plant for a while, and this is the first bloom spike produced. It just opened up this past week! I'm excited about this one because its color and form tell me it may be AOS awardable...time will tell!
#3 - Fuchsara (Fcr.) Crownfox; Another first time bloomer for me; I picked this guy up from the sale bench at RF Orchids in June of 07. I think it's a great mini vandaceous plant to have in my collection. The flowers are about 3/4 inch across.
#4 - Dtps. Minho Princess 'Flying' HCC/AOS; this is a new Dtps. that I added to my collection last month, and it's still blooming strong!

I hope that you enjoy my new beauties as much as I do.

They are all beautiful but the Fuchsara is a I agree with Dorothy. I fell in love with that Fuchsara. I like it idea of it being a smaller vanda.

Thanks Everyone for your kind comments.
I've decided to bring the 3 vandaceous plants to my local Orchid Society meeting this Thursday. I'd bring the Dtps. too, but I haven't owned it long enough to qualify for placement on one of the plant tables.
I'll let you know how they make out.
