Too many pseudobulbs?

I admit. I do obsess over them. In a good way . I just can't seem to get my fill of information and this has been such a great place for that. I truly appreciate everyone sharing their experience and knowledge.

Obsessing over knowledge is good. I always read everything I can on a subject if I am going in for it. It doesn't stop me from panicking a bit when I do go in for something new. For example, last year I started getting in some Catasetums, and not only were they new to me, but because several were from the other hemisphere there are problems because some of them are trying to do two things at once, ie grow a mature bulb AND throw a new shoot.

I was starting to panic a bit because I was worried that if I got it wrong, I would lose the lot.

So, the 'Don't panic' comment was as much aimed at me as to everyone else.

We live in a time when the whole of human knowledge is at our fingertips.

Flashback alert.

Eeeee when I were a lad, if I wanted to know summat, I had to travel 10 miles to the nearest town where there were a library what had the Encyclopedia Britannica...
