Thanks for posting! Whenever my wife complains about the orchids taking over the house, I show her a post like yours. "Honey, it could me much worse - at least I don't have 700!"  |

I can understand how fast that can happen, though. I just have seventy orchids (not counting doubles) but it is only space that limits me. I always get to the point where I must get rid of some orchids to fit the new ones inside when winter comes. If I had unlimited space, though, this would likely be me...maybe not with orchids but certainly with tropical plants. |

Same here, I bet that goes for a lot of us. I live in a small condo. If I had a house with a basement and yard, I would have a basement full of plants and a big greenhouse in the yard. |

I can see how easy it is to end up with that many orchids, if I had the room and I mean lots of it I could have my own jungle of tropical plants.
