If you are frightened, then think of it this way : you only have 27! I 'only' have 70 or so (lost track of the number a long time ago) and think that I don't have enough.

I only have 200 or so... and that doesn't include the multiples in compots/flasks.

Well... someday I hope to have the room and finances to be there too. I truly love Orchids but I generally cant get any blooms to last the length of time they should. It can be discouraging. Then again I've only been practicing for 5 months if that. For example, my Odontos wont bloom for more than 3 weeks, my pretty general NoID Oncidiums similar looking to Sherry Babys wont go more than 4 or 5, and my Phals its hit or miss but i do rather well with those. Believe it or not my Miltoniopsis is making it the longest for my first try. *Sigh* I just keep trying though.
