If you could only keep one orchid...which one?

Every plant I grow has a story behind it. I see posting of pictures of plants as an opportunity to tell that story.
Orchid obsession is a well known phenomenon and at times I have tried to cut back. How do you choose your favorite one plant above all others?

This plant is a strong candidate for that special position.
Otaara hidden gold, originally crossed by H&R in Hawaii is an outstanding little plant. profuse bloomer. More sun you give it, more blooms you get. A friend has a wooden basket with plant hanging out in full sub tropical sun and is in constant bloom. That was a piece of my original plant that I gave my local OS for a raffle and my friend won, so I still have a connection to it.

This plant blooms with small cattleya flowers. They open red, morph to orange and mature to a rich yellow.
If you google Otaara hidden gold images ( I know the name has changed, but I will not change my tag) you will see all the color phases. These flowers have just opened, I will add the yellow version when they mature. It has multiple colors, blooms frequently, is compact and can withstand full sun and s great grower. If I had to make the choice, this would be mine. The picture shows the Otaara behind one of my phal bellina. other picture is to show the plants roots after a year in coco moss fiber and a net pot culture.

what is your one and only orchid you could not live without?
