How many orchids do you have?

If rehab is where you go to talk about your problems with other people that have the same problems, then doesn't that make the OB kinda like a rehab?

Tindomul, you said you have a Phalaeopsis chibae with roots only...DON'T THROW IT OUT YET!!!

The thing may still be alive. I've had a Doritis pulcherimma grow a side shoot after all the leaves had dropped and left nothing but healthy roots. Mine died only because I didn't know at the time that my growing conditions allowed me to only grow Phalaenopsis mounted. Had I had known this earlier, I would still have this plant.

Going with the poll I currently have anywhere around 80.

About 80 or so. Not counting seedlings from flasks.

You know, this post made me update my list (something that I hate doing, but must be done) Anyway, I now have 69 orchids, but will have 89 in May (assuming that I don't buy anything else by then--which is highly unlikely) when I receive my rupicolous laelias.

Only 2 years into the hobby--I shudder to think what will be 2 years from now, hugh?

peace out. LOLOLOLOL

Yep, that is us alright! We are in rehab but we all enable each other. Carol

I only have a handful of them, even though I've been growing them for five years. If I had a greenhouse, you'd better believe I'd hit the hundreds. No such luck, though, and my budget is tight enough that I can only indulge in plants occasionally.

I have been growing for a couple years, but have only had two or three. Less than a year ago I bought my first bulk Orchids and now have over 5000. I can't tell you the exact number beacuse YOU haven't come and counted them for me

I'm really scared to count (and would probably need a counting device so as not to get mixed up). Started in 2006 with a costco Phal and I'm over 200 various types at the moment. Trying to coast along and be happy with what I have, but.......so much out there, always seems to be another 1 or 2 that are "so different" I NEED to have them. Does that ever end because if not I will have to be purchasing a conservatory in the near future!!

[rogerman]

I'd say, start saving up for that conservatory. You'll be needing it soon plus a green house.....Theres a lot more Orchids out there that you need
