Orange/golden colored orchid

10 years ago

I'm looking for an orchid that has flowers close to the eye color of the chameleon below. I'd lean more orange than towards pale yellow, though golden yellow is reasonable. I am currently growing Bulbophyllum 'Elizabeth Anne Buckleberry', mounted, in the same place, I hope to grow the orchid hoping to acquire. Elizabeth Anne Buckleberry is blooming, now.

The orchid would preferably bloom twice or more times a year, be happy with medium high light conditions ( bromeliads, gardenias, and the Bulbophyllum bloom, have good color, and no plants burn under my lights ), be ok with daily misting, though fans dry things out completely, in between, temps from 60-78F, and being tied to mount.

I've been told cattleya need more warmth, the dendrobiums need a dry season, and I'm not having much luck as far as determine if vandas would do well or finding other genera with the flower color I want. Thanks for your help.
