How many orchids do you have?

[Lin]

I have 86. Pretty surprised considering it's just an Orchidarium and one (bay) window.

Must find more space.......

My sister and I have 117 different orchids as of today, don't know where they're all going when they grow up. Maybe I'll hang they from the rafters! I just updated my orchid list too.

12 so far - but I am going to enlarge my collection!

I just knew someone was going to ask this question and make me count!

So, a quick walk through the house and I come up with 104 and I probably missed a couple.

3 or 4 need to go to the Great Orchid God as they are just taking up space. Just have to get up the nerve to do it.

(Quote)One very good lesson I learned was to really evaluate your plants and cull what doesn't thrive...something that just exists is a weak plant. It not only takes up bench space, but a weak plant is suseptible to disease/pests.

It's not about quantity, its QUALITY that matters. :iagree:

Advise from one wise lady. I try to do that but it is soooo tempting to tell myself, just give it one more try. I have a Paphinia which looked so bad I took it off my Excel list, but tucked the plant in a back corner. This week I discovered 3 buds on it.

I have 48 and 6 in individual flasks. And I have 8 arriving today!!!

What a difference a year makes!

I'm going to blame it all on Laura and the rest of my OB friends here...the count is up to 378!!!

How #$%^&* that happen?

Stick around here and you're sure to do just that!

So far only 19. However, the sight of a blooming orchid does my will power in. What there is of it.

WOW! Its really surprising to look back. Last July I had just over 40, now its triple that!!! They really do multiply like tribbles!
