Default I'm off my rocker, Ericaceae plants

So, I must be addicted to plants in general. It got into my head that I HAD, HAD, HAD to grow some plants of the Ericaceae family (Andromedas, Azaleas, Rhododendrons, Blueberry, Cranberry etc....). And I was thinking, well with so many genera and species there has to be something I can grow indoors. OMG, its like I couldn't stop thinking about it and I spent my whole Sunday researching and researching.
Well I was not disappointed.
I ended up getting
Agapetes serpens
Agapetes serpens - Google Search

Macleana insignis
Macleania insignis - Google Search

and Vireya Rhododendrons.
Wow, apparently there are Rhododenrons that are small and epiphytic and grow like orchids!!!
I bought
Rhododendron celebicum

Rhododendron x planecostatum
http://www.bovees.com/Web%20Site%206...necostatum.jpg

Rhododendron gracilentum
http://www.bovees.com/Web%20Site%206...racilentum.jpg
Google Image Result for http://www.wfu.edu/~kronka/kakbek/images/67.%20Rhodogracilentum.JPG


So all in all, I am hooked and I have yet to see any of these house plants in person.

Does anyone else grow any of these???
