#1 size I grow indoors under lights and have limited shelf space.
#2 pretty foliage. Since they are out of bloom longer than they are in bloom nice looking foliage helps me wait for the next bloom cycle.
#3 duration of bloom. If it only lasts for a week for me that is too much time and effort for very little payback. Paph. liemianum and Pinocchio are my dream plants....never out of bloom.
#4 flower appeal. Oddly this is last on my list of criteria. As one with limited space if it meets all of the above criteria I have to at the very least like the flower. It's better if I love the flower. :wink: I only have two bulldog Paphs. because I'm not really a big fan. The two I have meet all of the above criteria and are different from the rest of my collection thus adding interest.
#5 in the future I will be looking for species because I really like them.
