My collection

[The Mutant]

Hello OB!

It has been a while, hasn't it? I stop by now and then, but I'm not as active as I was before and the reasons are health related (I'm home on extended sick leave at the moment).

My addiction to orchids has not diminished though, rather it's still as bad as ever, so my collection has grown quite a bit, especially the Paph part of it, since I was more active here on OB.

I started out with eight NoID Phals in February this year and this is how the collection looks now:

With these last ones, my upper limit is breached so I'll have to sell off parts of my collection this coming spring. This gives me the winter to ponder which ones to sell (although I wish I could keep them all ).

Now it's time for me to give them some TLC.
