Thank you all. Since I sarted this, I ought to weigh in. What I've seen so
far indicates the high level of expertise here. Most people without
greenhouses and having to deal with winter find it difficult (I do) to bloom
vandas.

Anyway, my favorites include:

B nodosa
Epi. stamfordianum
Phal. stuartiana
Soph. cernua
Paph. lowii
Paph phillipinense v. reobelinii
Enc. alata
Phrag. longifolium
Neofinetia falcata
Bulb. (Cirr.) makoyanum
