Hi Daethen and welcome to orchid board.
Everyone here is really helpful so I'm sure you'll find the answers you need.
It took me a couple of years to go go from 1 to 50 (got 56 just now with a few dead ones that have been and gone)... however fast you collect they are really adictive arn't they.  |

Yes they are. I have approx. 26 more on there way here now. My family lives with my mom in law and she has told me NO MORE. And that was before I ordered these. She is going to kill me. Of course, I have a good friend that will be helping me sneak them in a few at a time.........  |

Ah yes... you have to mix them in with the existing ones... then "these? no these have always been here".
It doesn't wor for me ... my hubby works at the same place as me and tends to answer the door, so I can't hide them by having them delivered to work

I hope you enjoy it here and post lots of pictures! Sneaking them in under the radar can be hard: I have recently acquired a couple of new little ones and my boyfriend's mother has aquired another 4 - this came about by us deciding that (due to a rather tempting offer from one of the sellers here in the UK I use), I would buy her some for an early xmas present and she would buy my me some  it took a couple of attempts at explaining the deal to my boyfriend but, in the end, he gave up and had a cup of tea 
Good Luck! |

This is why you need a good friend that is willing to be an accomplice!! |

Welcome! Make sure to tell your mom-in-law that the orchids keep the air clean in the house.
