Just for fun, what is the focus of your orchid collection?
I have focused mainly on fragrance with my catt hybrids (still waiting for my blooms, bought as seedlings 2-3 years from blooming...sigh)
My phals I try to make everyone a different color or pattern they are all blooming sized and with these I don't care if they are noids (all other orchids are named, why, I don't know I just do it that way.)
Then my second focus is on floriferousness (is that a word?) I want plenty of blooms to enjoy. You can have your one flower wonders, I pass those up without a second glance.
Paphs excluded. I like those blooms enough that I will settle for just one flower.
They all have to grow in semi-hydro and settle for a once or twice weekly watering. Nothing fussy or demanding allowed in my collection
They all have to do with city water and a south-west window supplemented with a two bulb fluorescent fixture.
So there you have it. My collection in a nutshell. How does your collection work?
