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

Nice one with all those stripes!
What is your bud count? Can you show us the whole plant?

I wish folks hadn't gotten started going for flower portraits. They serve a purpose and are nice to look at, BUT many times lately I have either wished the poster would show the whole plant in bloom or specifically asked to see it. For me it helps establish an over-all size.

Very nice indeed. I as well would like to see the whole plant Ross. Especially if its a first time bloomer. I'll try to remember this when I post pics since I'm guilty of that.

Aren't we all guilty of that. It's so easy to focus on the main event - the bloom and forget the rest.

The "main event" is important! That's not what I am talking about. It would be nice to see the whole plant/flower/spike (depending on plant) then the close-up. That's my point.
