Thinking of quitting the orchid hobby

I haven't been around much, mostly because I don't have anything to contribute in the forums.

As the title says, I'm wondering if it isn't time to call it quits. Not because I'm not interesting in...

If you only had Phals I think the Sanlights could be enough,...

Tmoney makes good points that I agree with, to a certain extent. (Though I'm 100% on the swiveling screen, I love it and that was a must have for the new camera).

Well that was quick, RIP Phal

After nearly 20 years of growing orchids (mostly Phals) I've finally lost my first Phal to stem rot, and I'm in shock at how quickly it happened!
