Wow,
Thanks for the warm welcome.
I am very new to Orchid growing, I am very fascinated by Slippers. However I only have a couple commons. I actually don't have the tags for them. I got them at a discount because the orchid growers lost the tags.
Here are some of the orchids I have.
I am now getting interested in low light wet orchids, miniatures mostly. I haven't gotten any, but I am looking into it.

1 Phalaenopsis schilleriana
1 Potinara Afternoon Delight 'Magnetism' x Blc Bo...
1 Rhynchostylis gigantea red
1 Tolumnia Magic 'Hildos'
1 Aerangis fastuosa
1 Cattleya percivaliana
1 Phalaenopsis hieroglyphica
1 Phalaenopsis equestris
1 Phal Baldan's Kaleidescope
1 Phal Leopard Prince 'OK'
1 Phal Minho Princess 'SJ'
1 Phal Chih Shang's Stripes 'Kuolynche'

Paph. bougainvilleanum is another species that I like alot but hard to find in Canada. Someone that I know is asking $35 for a seedling with a leafspan of 2 inches.

Hey, really, $35 in the usa?
If you are not going to purchase it, can you give me a referral?

I know where the fellow in Canada bought it from. He got the plants from Joe of Bloomsfield Orchids.

Hey Bill, nice phals! You need more slippers! Come on SOF members...enablers UNITE! :slippers:

I would love to see a pic of your rhynco gigantea! Has it bloomed yet?

unfortunatly the gigantea is about a year away from blooming, I will post pics when it does.
I have recently ordered more Paphs , I will be going to the Santa Barbara Orchid Fair on the 8th with the sole purpose of purchasing Paphs.

I am going on vacation for 3 weeks this summer and have been spending the entire day setting up a electronic drip water system for all my orchids. Hardest part is getting some to water everyday, while others to water every three days. Luckily they are all outside.
