Hahaha, give it up, you love it and you know it...just enjoy it. As long as there is no one in your home objecting to your hoarding obsession you're golden!
I grow in our kitchen on the counter/bar area and windowsills. I have two shelving units and a table in our dining room. One of these is enclosed and I'm debating another, lol. Soon I need to bring inside a few plants that I've grown outside, succulents, ferns, cactus and an elephant bush. These will occupy a area in our living room.

Last year I convinced my husband that I needed a small greenhouse, originally wanted to have this on our deck..southern exposure. My plan was a seasonal greenhouse, spring through fall. I even considered having it somewhere shady in our yard, lots of space on three acres.
I came here to the board and ask the question, am I nuts? The "dream squashers" as I called them at the time set me straight on my stupid idea. No greenhouse for Patty, thus the hubby has been very generous with indoor spaces. He has his obsessions, I have mine.

I used to have a couple Neos from NWO (shutennou, tamakongo and a third I can't remember) but lost them (a long tragic story). That reminds me that I need to email NWO for the catalogue and pre order form for a show they're coming to in France!

It sounds like you're comforting yourself nicely Camille. I've never grown a Paph or a Phrag though they are beautiful plants. Hopefully you will find a mini Maxie one day. Sometimes the hunt is what keeps be interested as well as caring for these amazing plants.
You will find a lot of nice Neos with NWO! Please post pictures of the new plants when they arrive.
