How many orchids are in your collection?

[peeper]

I think I have somewhere in the neighborhood of 100 and 115. I only have 1 or 2 duplicates, but I've tried very hard not to buy multiples of the same. Variety is the spice of life or something!

I need to re-count and I have 3 more coming, if I can get the seller to get back to me with a shipping total... *facepalm*

Maybe around 250 to 300 not really counted ..

I've got around 100, not counting those in compots. Just finished building a basement greenhouse to house them all over the winter.

I honestly have know clue. I know I have well over 100 plants but some of those are cp's, cacti, etc. (Don't EVEN want to consider all the Drosera seedlings! )

I have a nice mix of orchids I really enjoy which include forty-one named original orchids, some duplicates, and some noIDs. Like many others, though, the orchids make up only a small part of the plant collection. One might say that our home has a predominating green theme.

I have over 600, about 400 in a 8'x6'x10' tall greenhouse, well over 200 mounted. Outdoors I have over 150 in pots or mounted, in house over 50 potted and mounted. As far as other plants well over 1000 different types in yard, in Pots in ground and hanging.

Yes i am addicted to plants, especially orchids.

I live in the Los Angeles area so we have mild winters, but I have seen outdoor orchids with frost and ice on them with no problems.i have a large over 100 bulbs L. Purpurata that is mounted and it has been outdoors here for over 10 years and seems to love it. I have seen that plant covered in ice with no problems.

I've lost count over the last 5 years, and ohh well, the plants all, however many there are, always find a little nook to fit in snuggly.... and expansion is still going strong.....

Wow..I really thought I had about 250...not... I just did a trip outside and counted everyone because they are mounted in trees, hanging in the trees, on driftwood mount, on stands, in the garden, etc. I found 360...that didn't count the basket of anosonum keikeis I'm holding for a friend till they get bigger for her trees. one might just be joining the fun anyway...

I thought this WAS Orchids Anonymous! I guess there's a fine line between therapy and addiction?
