Orchid of the month clubs - Worth it? Good ones?

[Roberta]

A difference with a "beer of the month" or "wine of the month" - these get consumed. Either you like them or you don't. But an orchid.. we hope that they aren't considered disposable... acquiring an orchid is making a commitment to try to keep it alive, so that it will bloom again and again. So matching one's conditions (and knowledge) to what one acquires is important toward that end. (Your knowledge will grow, you'll learn to be more adventurous in providing a range of conditions, but that's a process that can't be rushed)

My point exactly. Although a beer or 2 did go down the drain unprocessed!
