Thank you. There are quite a few posts since yesterday. I think in my mind's eye I want to see a five year diary style of table with coloured lines for when a plant first flowers, repeat flowers etc. and if their location affects the flowering, which of course it will do. I do have my plants listed by number but had not thought of adding that to the label, so thank you. One example is my Dendrobium Berry Oda, my first plant, which arrived in bud on 14th July, was in flower on 27th died off naturally but is now sporting seven new spikes in September. I find that sort of thing exciting (

). It would be lovely to see what was the first flowering date next year, and so on.....
As usual, I am probably overthinking. Anyway, I have enough orchids now to be allowed a system (31. gulp!)
Thanks for all your advice.
Helen
