I have lots of questions and should probably introduce myself!

Wow, thirty at once. I assume you have a huge place to put them! What type are they? Good luck!

I bought Costco shelving! It’s awesome, and then I taped rolls of thin shelf liners to them, for added stabilization. I think it looks nice and nothing falls off even if it’s bumped.
I have lots of paphs and phrags, but a couple Dendrobium, oncidium, Cattleyas, a cycnodoes, a couple burr and a Miltoniopsis. Oh and some Phalanopsis too of course!
Currently I have 80 something 😅

Interesting! I am a phrag/paph fan-- have some dendrobiums too. I decided to stick to only a few species, but when I was new I would get big boxes from Carmella-- filled with "their choice." Lost a lot of orchids and did my weaping, and now I stick with only a few types. Phrags generally end up costing a lot, so I think that stops me from buying too many as well.

Yes they do! I ended up buying in bulk from different places then I let friends and family buy them at discounted pricing from me since I got better prices that way. that way we all got to expand our collections for less money. But I’ll be honest, it was a ton of money upfront. I have spent quite a bit this year.
