How many orchids do you have?
I though it would be nice to have an updated count on the amount of orchids you have now.
I am shocked and flabbergasted to find out I have at least 56 orchids!!! I have a nagging feeling I forgot to count one or two. I've updated the list of orchids in my profile. Keep in mind I've only been growing since Fall of 2005.
So, what do you guys have?

Tindo,
Hehe....I have around 47 on my list but I know I forgot a few as well. You think you are shocked at having 56 and only been growing since Fall of 2005? Well I got my first orchid last August and the rest arrived at my door around April and May! Watering has become quite the ordeal for me!

I was surprised, having just started rebuilding my collection after having lived abroad for 2 years, that I've made it back up into the 40s so quickly.
You guys are great enablers!

Yeah, but you've got the space for them and a beautiful space it is I might add.

I don't do most Dendros or large, "floofy orchids". For me it's minis (like Angraecoides), Paphs, and others that crept in somewhere along the line. See my orchid list for complete collection (usually not current.)

My collection is controlled by space. Until I get a new orchidarium this fall, I am limited to my current collection of 58 misc plus 5 jewell orchids.
