what's in flower/wish lists

My biggest phal is in bud, does that count? :)  One of my catt's just finished
flowering, and the other one's flower pod just broke free of the sheath.
Also have some forced yellow paperwhites. The streptocarpus', episcias, and
african violets are in flower, but they always are.. My supposedly resting
hibiscus
opened a flower yesterday much to my delight. (Boy, I envy the person with a
greenhouseful of hibiscus in flower! Must be stunning) 

>What new plants would you like to get in this new year?  I want to get a few
>more equitant orchids and anything fragrant, any ideas anyone?

Ooh. Bad question to ask, tis the season for seed catalogues.<grin> I'd
like to 
get a jewel orchid; I saw one at a show and its foliage was stunning.
CHiltern's
has seeds for disa uniflora <!> and I'm wondering if I feel up to trying
that. Also 
wish for a streptocarpella since I foolishly killed mine when I moved in here.
I love fragrant flowers too, and if anyone knows one which tolerates low
light...:)
