Has anyone stopped buying more orchids?
So, I am out of room. Most of my orchids are seedlings, I have some trees and plants that will get large. I realized I shouldn't buy any more orchids. Then I saw that cattleya walkeriana seedlings were available from the vendor who will be sending me my angraecum sequipidale when the weather warms. Yes, now I will be getting the cattleya, too. So, has anyone built up a nice collection, then stopped getting new orchids?

I haven't purchased any since Sunday. What? I was breaking down our display at an orchid show. Had an opportunity to by some Neos today. Perhaps tomorrow... |

I bought a large, very expensive, multifloral paph last fall and said it would definitely be my last orchid since I finally had my favorite orchid. 10 orchids and 1 flask later I still haven't gotten my last orchid. 3 cyps just arrived today and 3 more cyps are in shipping!
