    I used to grow phalaenopsis for years and gave them up in a moment of madness.

    Recently, I've decided to start my orchid hobby.

    Once again into the fold of obsession....

    Hi Kipper, The worst part is that I'm guilty of being a serial orchid killer. Already, started out the year by killing a Dendrobium Prenticei....

    Welcome to the club, I haven't slaughtered more than a few this year so I feel I'm on an upswing!

    Hi Gregg, You are right. There are worse vices. However, I am finding myself dreaming about orchids. May be a few sessions with a psychoanalysis may be in order.

    I can't afford psychoanalysis, I employ beer!
