Where are you in your orchid collecting
When I first started, I was amazed by any and all things labeled "orchids." Everything was new and exciting and I wanted to gobble up most of the plants that I laid my eyes on.
Nowadays, I find that I'm buying less, and my tastes have definitely "framed" themselves, so to speak. Although I can appreciate the aesthetics of a beautiful orchid, I don't necessary "want" to own it.
But some definitely set my heart pitter-pattering and my breath faltering. I noticed this at an orchid show I went to today. I sometimes buy something new to keep things interesting, but for the most part, have settled on specific things.
Has this happened to you? Have your tastes refined? Changed? Settled into a recongizable pattern?
