We all have our favs. Which ones make you swoon? Which ones are the majority of your collection? Tell us what and why.

I marked Cattleyas, because Catts and their alliance are probably in the majority here.
But - my true answer would be: "The one which is blooming particularly nice right now OR has simply wonderful growth.

(I forgot who it was - a person was asked her/his favorite Opera. The answer was: "The one I am listening to right now")

That could be any....

I voted for cymbidiums. They make me melt. But I almost voted for the eclectic taste one!

And I should have added - and I love to see what the camera brings out.....many times it is a fine detail my eyes had missed.
