It's official - I'm an addict
Hi
I just thought that you would all like to celebrate with me the fact that I am now the proud carer of thirty orchids in my home. Three are donations from non orchid friends who "got bored" with their Phals, three are duplicates as a result of propagation.
Here's to the next thirty!
Mind you I have a way to go before I catch myself up on the succulents and cacti front - I have 85 of those and I was supposed to be winding them down...........
Happy growing everyone

Congratulations Hedge 
I've a way to go to catch you up but I hit 15 at the weekend and I'm expecting two more to arrive soon.
I decided I must be an addict at the weekend, when two new ones had arrived last week, two more were on order and expected this week and I still couldn't resit that discount rack NoID in the garden center  |

Congrats Hedge, believe me, your collection will just continue to grow. I started out with just one per week and now I have over 100.
