1. Currently I have 16 Cattleya, 11 Dendrobium's, 1 Miltassia, 3 Oncidium, 4 Paphiopedilum, 5 Phalaenopsis, 1 Angraeucum, 1 Cymbidium, 2 Doritaenopsis, 1 Vanda, 1 Cycnoches, 1 Pleurothallis, 1 Ludisia, 12 kieki's (Dendrobium Christina Princess), taken from my Orchid spreadsheet.
2. Usually when I buy its at least 3-4, when I see them at work (HD) I usually pick one and only if its not a NOID. Don't get me wrong NOIDS are not a bad chid, just they are all so much alike, I've got a love for species.
3. I walked into a local market and heard my name being called by 2 orchids (dendrobium) and that was 16 months ago....still going strong.
Road trip

for me to Lauderdale Show and Redlands, can't wait. I have heard so many wonderful things about Redlands and looking forward to the experience.
