Orchid yearnings/compulsions

[Leafmite]

Some years ago, I had an obsession with Angraecums. Fortunately, I got that under control. White flowers that are basically shaped the same...why? And, yet, I still have four different species of Angraecums.

I set a limit on the number of of orchids to 50. I had years that when autumn came, I would panic trying to find space for them indoors. I would have to give some away because I could not fit more hanging, on shelves, in windows or under lights.

I collect other plants, too. There are different varieties of Passiflora, jasmine, citrus, coffee, air plants, herbs, carnivorous plants, geraniums, and ficus carica...and the two banana trees...and some other random tropical plants..
