The Saddest Part Of Growing Orchids...
To me, the saddest part of growing orchids is when the blooming season comes to an end 
Oh WAIT!!
New growth....never mind  |

That's why you need more orchids. So you can have something in bloom year round  |

I have 43 different kinds/colors in 49 different pots/baskets/plants.
I'm pretty close to that "year round" thing
43 and 49 -- weird numbers. I know.
Guess I'm going to have to fix that shortly  |

The saddest part for me was giving away all the large Cattleyas. I knew I wanted to do it so that I would have more space but it was still difficult. Now I have a bunch of seedling orchids a few years away from blooming...again.

Mine were taking up too much space, so I put them on mounts. Every mounted orchid leaves space for another on the bench
Cackle! |

I totally know the feeling. I was in a basement apartment for 4 years right before I came here. The only plant I had was a sanseveria. Right now I have a little side yard all my own, but I still live in a shared house, and it is not my own so I can only have "portable things." |

So sad to have to give up all the large catts. I'm still not ready to part with any of mine. I would love to have a green house.
