One other thought...
Life is short. Too short to not take the time to enjoy as many unique experiences as possible. Some people, no - most people will never get around to, or be able to travel to see any orchids in nature. A blooming orchid can be a once in a lifetime experience. Most people in my town will never see a blooming Stanhopea, or even our native Cypripedium.
I'd like to see as many as possible before I go to the great Greenhouse in the sky.
