New to this obsession...I mean hobby

[JerseyWendy]

Thank you all so much for the warm welcome. Let me tell you how this all got started. I'll try and keep it as brief as possible.

For Mother's Day my 2 sons surprised me with a BEAUTIFUL phal. After extensively admiring it, I finally made room on that windowsill and put it in its new location. Fast forward 2 hours. I had my parrot out, and we were snuggling, when something startled him and he took off flying. WHAM! Right into the phal. There went the flowering spike. I was more upset than my boys, so I got in the car, in search for another phal. I came home with 3. 1 phal and 2 baby cattleyas. Husband was MIA when I got back home. 5 minutes later he showed up, with yet another 2 phals cause he felt bad about what had happened to the first one.

I guess you can call that an Insta-mini-collection.
