My obsession started very slowly. I never had a green thumb and always tried for years and years. Slowly, I started to succeed where I had always failed before. My apartment was always filled to the brim with tropical plants (mostly non-blooming), so much so that my friends referred to my apartment as "the jungle." LOL...
One day at home depot, I saw a phal that I really liked and thought how the color of the flower would really add to my tropical collection. It was cheap and I was terrified I'd kill it, so I bought it to try out. Well, I still have that orchid and after it rebloomed the first time I decided to try another one. The next year when they both rebloomed I started getting the itch.
The straw that broke the camel's back was going to my first Orchid Show. I left with 9 new plants, lol...
I can't really say that there is one in particular that I'm really addicted to since I love them all!
