Last week I purchased 9 from a nursery and had them shipped to me. Today I went to lowes again and purchased 6 more mini phals. Last night I ordered a small green house to put into the back of our house where there is little heat in the winter. I have purchased pots, orchid food several boxes. Soil meter to tell me if I have enough light is ph right and are my orchids moist or dry enough. I have even now hand pollinated and it took. I have Phal seed pods forming now. I ordered books joined the board as well as a forum. YES I AM addicted to orchids. Now I just have to find out how to care for each kind... LC Cariad's mini Quinee,Slc Fire Magic 'Solar Flare', Den bracteosum Species, Epi Radicans obrienium, Dtps,fusheng's Gold lip " Mx Dtps Hsinging mount 'BD, Slc Fire Magic 'Nora', oncidum alliance Gold Dust, Dyakia hendersoniana Xsibling. cattleya syn lealiapurpurata v. alba Slc world vacation ' shibuya Sunset. These are the ones I need to find out how to care for... They are also the ones from the nursery. Would you say I have been bitten by the orchid addiction? YUP

Of course! As I posted, that your addiction has taken hold/progressed at solid state drive, supersonic, overclocked speed has qualified you to be in a very small coveted section of the addict's community!

Just print out my official acknowledgment post, frame it and put it on the wall.

You will be the focus of uber envy!!!!:D
