My collection started when I changed jobs and started working at Asda. I was horrified by the plants that were thrown away if they couldn't sell them off cheaply, one of them being orchids, just because they hadn't been watered. So began my mission of rescuing them before they hit the bin. So far I have been lucky and none have died on me, however I was given one as a present and I think it is stressed out hence my finding this forum (post and pics in beginners threads).
