LOL. How does this happen???

I used to buy anything that caught my fancy. At my zenith I had 90+ plants. As Mutant says taking care of that many plants becomes a chore if you don't have a greenhouse. I decided that I would only keep plants that stayed in bloom for a long time, or those that bloomed multiple times a year. With that in mind I have adopted out most of my Catts, and Oncs. What is left on the shelf are Phals, Paphs, & Phrags. I have 3 from the Catt family left that are very free blooming. Some of the Phrags may find a new home depending on how much I like the flower because they are huge. I'm down to 43 plants, and 2 of those are divisions that will find new homes.

I took 4 divisions to our Society meeting last week to donate to the raffle and door prize. Our speaker had some great plants and bought 2. Went to a show yesterday and got 1 more...so I am still up 3. I already gave up...ORCHIDS RULE!

oops...I forgot about the orchid I won in the raffle. ...so I went with 4 and donated them, came home with 3 and bought 1 yesterday. I'm still the same.

I brought in all my plants and orchids two weeks ago and I am definitely out of space for pots. I have a little bit of room for hanging a few mini's but that is nearly full too.
I have a nice collection, though, so I am not complaining. Now I get the pleasure of watching my seedlings grow to blooming size.

Well, for me, let's just say "What windows? I don't see any""! LOL...

The HOS meeting was Thursday. We had a speaker who brought plants-I bought four that turned into five because one, a C. Jenmanii was really two plants. I also bought another one through the silent auction. Last time I won two from the raffle and think I bought one through the silent auction.....and so it goes. Don't even mention going to Clown Alley, let's see, last time I think it was four and John told me he had just gotten in a new shipment. I've got it bad.
This addiction is taking place of my former real addiction, buying fabric. I could open my own fabric store. I have fabric I bought in the 60's. Well, at least, fabric doesn't have to be watered, fertilized, repotted, moved into the greenhouse for cold weather and does not die.
