What are your favorite orchids to grow? I think I got my first orchid in the '70's as a gift from my father in law. It was a cymbidium and I killed it in a couple years because I didn't take it in. My father in law's lived outside all winter so I didn't see a problem (he was in San francisco where it never freezes and I was in the California Central Valley where temps drop to well below freezing).

Then in 1992, my husband gave me a greenhouse and my mother in law gave me a Cattleya. I still have it and have branched beyond Phalaenopsis to anything I can find that I have never heard of before. But the whole Cattleya group are still my favorites.

I attached photos of two that are blooming right now. I didn't take a pencil and paper with me so didn't write down the names.

The west end of my greenhouse is full of cactus.
