Mr. Help, (I love saying this)

Hi there. :)

I have a chart for each genera.

Name
Date purchased
Vendor
Size (division, seedling, BS)
Color
Fragrance
Bloom History: date and how many blooms
Culture History (How did I get the plant: bare root, plastic pot, what media was used), subsequent repotting on my part
Current Culture (how is it potted clay, plastic, bareroot, media used size of pot, when potted)

you know you can call me bob, right?

thank you very much for our help. i will add your suggestions to my database. but i think ill keep all the genera on the same spread sheet, because i dont have many of each genera

Maria beat me to it- I was going to suggest when they started and ended blooming each time.

Perhaps also, what times of year it seemed to put out the most growth, or when it put out keikis or new leads.

I've been meaning to make something like this on Excel. If anybody is interested, I could send them a blank copy to use.

im interested, you can email it to me. im using open office, but it can use excel sheets and convert them. how soon do you think you will make it? or do you already have it? if you already have it, than ill take it, but if now, than i can just make my own

My laptop is being repaired right now, so hopefully I'll have it by the end of the week.

alright then, ill take a pass. im in the middle of making one right now. if you want, i can send it to you :)

what am i supposed to right under fragrance if i cant describe the smell?

I am currently using an Excel workbook that includes a summary page of all my orchids. Each orchid has it's own tab within the workbook that includes most of the information detailed in the posts above. If anyone is interested in using it as a template, let me know via PM (along with your email address) and I will email it to you.

I'd guess just saying if it has one or not...
