Ooh Ursula, I like all of those, although the first one stands out which is odd because I usually don't care for orange. But there's always exceptions!

Smiling thanks!
Melanie, the orange one is a nicely manageable small plant, almost a miniature. I like these Darwinaras!

Beautiful, Ursula and Jim. When I grow up I want to grow big flowery orchids like you two.

That Love Knot plant really looks like a love knot. I really like the colors on Waiakea Uka, too.

I just wanted to register a comment on Ursula's beautiful show before moving on to the new thread. I think Cattleya Brabantiae 'El Toro' is my favorite of that group. Very nice color.
