Excellent point - last year I was not too fond of Cattleyas - now it seems
that is all I am purchasing.

10???

You can't pick just 10......that's like asking a mother which child she
likes best!

And besides that the 10 I'd pick today wouldn't have been the 10 I'd pick
last year.

In various articles I have seen people mention the "top ten" orchids -
must
haves for every collection. They are essentially plants that are easy to
grow and have some outstanding features - color, fragrance, amount of
flowers etc. Usually people mention, Brassavola nodosa, Neofinetia
falcata,
Oncidium Sharry Baby, etc. Would anyone like to mention their top ten,
top
five or top one. Just curious what the responses might be - I suppose it
depends on your own growing conditions, space, etc. Feel free to respond
to
me directly at if you are reluctant to
post
to
the group. Thanks in advance for any replies.

John
