Wonderful specimen pics!!
I love the one with Jim next to the Bulbo phalaenopsis (most likely)
My problem is perhaps a bit different, yes, I do love a good size plants with lots of blooms for sure. But, in addition, I find it many times very difficult to divide a Cattleya, when it had walked out of the pot and adhered totally to the edge of it. I placed years ago many small smaller Catt. into wooden baskets. To split one of those plants now some at least 10 years later, I would cut so many roots that I will half kill that plant. I lost my Copper Queen that way, that one had roots like a Vanda and really disliked being chopped up. All pieces kicked the bucket.
