Several years caring for orchids, one week into my own collection

[FL_Orchid_Collector]

Hello everyone, my name is John and I just started raising my own orchids about a week ago after buying orchids for my mom and caring for them for several years. Here is her collection which I've been tending: (hmm I'm too new to embed an image link but it's attached)
The orchids on the round table in the back are the start of my own collection. I don't know why but giving them to my mom and caring for hers made me fall in love with orchid growing. Anyway I'm a beginner orchid cultivator but I might have some of the more finicky orchids in my collection - regular box store varieties don't quite fit the bill for my personal collection. Anyway, see you guys on the boards!
