my story... i collected gardening book series. i think maybe there are 10 or so books that i have bought. a couple are my fave, as you guess the orchid book is was one of them. was as i have upgraded to better orchid books. there are plenty of cyms & catts in there and the flowers really captivated me.
on feb last year, i was hospitalised for 3 days. i asked my husband to bring me some books, that book was one of it. i spent my time reading that over & over. there was a visitor to a lady in my room that is an orchid nursery owner. she asked whether i have chids or not. i said no. chid is difficult. but i have other plants. she encouraged me to try out. she said sooner or later i'll collect as she saw the enthusiasm in me to orchids.
in april, after i was discharged, i found new arrival of orchids at my fave local nursery. i checked them out. then the assistant approach me and persuaded to try. he said its easy give a try. so i bring back 6 dens and the rest is history. i am a proud owner of about 300 chids now!
