Default Orchid Trends

What kind of trends have you noticed in the breeding of your favorite
orchid.

Orchids have 'fashions' or trends just like home decor. For a while
now there has been a big Phal in every home decor photo. A while a go
every new catt hybrid was a splash petal. Then it was the
'window-sill catts'. Now?

I am sure the down size of our favorites is a big one. After all it
increases the available buyers. It is much easier to use 4" pots on a
windowsill than it is to have 8" or larger. The collection can also
be more inclusive or diverse.

I think there is also a push back to species as well as smaller
plants. But I am looking for insight from all over.

What is available in your area and what are you and your orchid
friends looking for?

Thanks for the help.
In case you did not guess -- I need to do a 5 min. synopsis of trends.
