What's your favorite orchid?
 

It's a hard choice, but out of any species or hybrid of any variety, which one floats your boat the most?

I have to choose paph sanderianum for myself!

For me it would be the V. Robert's Delight that is the first orchid to bloom due to my care although as i have more orchids now the next one to bloom my take its place as my fav at least until the vanda blooms again.

I can't do it...I just can't choose!

It use to be just Phals. Then paphs, then it was Catts. Now I think it's Tolumnias (I only have one so far, but it's quite a beauty) and soon it will be Miltoniopsis. I guess what my favorite is....is whatever is in bloom at the time. Oh, and my ongoing love of Angraecums (although I've yet to see a bloom from any of them, but they are so unique).
Having orchids are like having children...you can't favor one over the other. :dunno:

Sophronitis coccinea or Dendrobium cuthbertsonii, but both show my preference for minis.

I have favorites within each genus but there's no way I could choose "a favorite" :faint:


:coverlaugh:

I really love my Cattleya gaskelliana semi-alba because she is my first and only orchid, i have seen a bunch of others that are just stunning but mines (Agatha) is always going to be my first one : D

I tend to favor slippers, but I could never pick just 1!

Wow, what a question! It's like a Sophie's choice - which of my CHILDREN is the favorite? Answer? None, because I love them all equally!

WAY too difficult to pick out one single orchid. Especially since I'm relatively new to orchids. I could maybe say, however, that currently my most most favorite type are the little rupicolous Laelias. But SO many other faves too!!!
