I also have a brassia Rising Star from a young plant, has a huge new growth which should flower soon, a dendrobium Emma type beautiful deep maroon purple with a sheen, again photo somewhere on 35mm, but it has shed all its leaves and looks 'done for' but not dead, a phaelonopsis with greenish yellow flowers and purple/maroon circular flecks, this is its 3rd flowering coming up so will get a digi of it, two spikes getting long now. have an amazing Miltonia with the deepest maroon with very striking white patterning, photo on 35mm, the plant died back after growing up to 10 new shoots, all but one tubercule? with a side shoot have died off, hopefully it will grow on. A very robust zygopetalum, really amazing flowers, think scented too, hasn't flowered again but keep hoping, they say need light but it gets reasonable light. Also a cymbidium bought reduced a few years ago, it was in soggy foam with bark on top and rotted but saved a tiny new growth, it looks big enough to flower now and has had its cold autumn chill, the flowers are creamy white with a strong maroon lip. I had to stop collecting, the window, table etc was getting overload, and lots of competition from 'other' plants.
