But darn it! I've already got my list lined up this year and I've gotten several gifts, so my space just won't allow any more than what I have planned for now, to say nothing of my budget!

Well, next year will bring a new round of culling and room for new plants....

I totally understand the dilemma. During a few years I had only a little space in my apartment to grow my orchids and man... that was terrible because my list never ended and the space was always insufficient!
But, you know, give time to time and everything gets better.

Wow, even the Orchid God had humble beginnings! Good to know!

For now I'm working on giving away some of my non-orchids to open up space. I had already filled the house with other plants before getting into orchids when I was 15, and I keep doing so even as I try to make room for the chids! I just can't help it! I love all things photosynthetic (ok, almost all, but who can love things like poison ivy or scotch broom?). I seriously need a greenhouse. I could move someplace where I could grow everything outside, but I'd miss the seasons. I need at least a short fall and winter, and so do some of my favorite plants!
