How do you know when you are not a "newbie" anymore?
This question just occurred to me as I was watering my orchids.
I have about 75 orchids now. I tell my family I have "about 50" so I hope this is not stretching the truth too much. I have had the pleasure of reblooming quite a few phals and oncidiums. I have one cattleya that is reblooming for the third time and I am happy to think there are three buds coming out of that sheath. I just rebloomed my first Maudiae paph and I can now see a bud on my Paph. delenatii alba. I have two new growths on my first cymbidium, whether they are spikes or new growth time will tell. Today, first time since I have had the plant! a spike on my Encyclia cordigera!!!
So...what comes after "newbie"? And do I qualify?
