If I ever get to the point the plants are on the bed, in the bathroom, fridge, pantry and blocking all exits...Then I'll stop buying

I recently stopped counting (when I went over 200) and figure now I just don't need to. I also stopped keeping track of things on my spreadsheet. Not sure if I will regret that or not.
All I *do* know is that all this talk about it today made me... come home with five more this afternoon.

I was about to say that I don't have any duplicates in my collection yet... then I realized that was a lie. LOL!
I do have 2 oncidium sharry baby. Love this one. I would fill my house with it if I could grow it in every room.

It's a terrible addiction! I think the plants use us in a symbiotic relationship. We care for them and we get enjoyment in return.

I try to get duplicates actually, especially seedlings. I've found one is always stronger than the other so I get one that flowers quicker than the other, and one as a backup. I have paph fairrieanum that I got two of in June - now one is in flower with a second growth working up, and the other that is growing but is still single growth and no flower. So I'm really glad I didn't just get the weaker one!
Bruno is an exception that it's pretty hard to find, so when I've had access I got a few. Today I got a really good deal on a larger plant of it, so I didn't want to turn it down.

A very wise person once reminded me that it isn't necessary to have them all right now  |
