There's so many new hybrids available, it's not funny.

Aleyna:

I think Miltonia species have larger flower? There's many Miltonia, Oncidium, Cymbium, Phalaenopsis, Masdevallia, Dendrobium, Vanilla, Lepanthes, Epidendrum, Maxillaria, Bulbophyllum, Paphiopedilum species and many more in the Botanical Building.
