Default Miniature orchid resources?

Barra,
Have you considered phal equestris? It does not require much light (unlike
the Ascocentrum Geir suggests). The plant itself stays pretty small -- it
gets keikis frequently, but as long as you give them away to your friends. I
would think it would remain small. The flowers are really cute (there are
different colors, but the one I got has those little intricate pink flowers
with different shades of pink).

With limited windows and space I'm looking for smaller orchids. When
searching for 'miniature orchids' I get more and more commercial book

links
(a growing problem with search engines these days). Are there any good
resources about smaller orchids for in the house (in the Netherlands) on

the
internet?

For some odd reason I always stop at Australian orchids in the nurseries.

I
currently only have Sarchocilum hartmanii and Dend. kingianum. Yes, by
accident both from Australia and good beginners orchids. I prefer

botanicals
(no hybrids or they must be natural) with smaller fleshy flowers.

Any suggestions?

Thanks
