I must have too many orchids.

Connie,

You are no more OCD than I am. I like to call myself detail-oriented rather than the hated OCD.

That's a cutie, Connie I'm guessing it has floribunda in its ancestry?

Connie I rate finding a new spike, especially in bloom, right up there in the thrill rating.............oh I lead a sheltered life...hehehe

I found a spike on a phrag this morning.......and I didn't even know I owned a phrag! See my thread.

Oh btw the way did you know OCD stands for Orchid Compulsion Dementia!?

[RJSquirrel]

yes you have too many orchids ..you can send the excess right to me heh
and then I can have too many...nice

Im not going to be particular here just one of everything would be a good start

I think you need a few more, just a couple in bloom.

Beautiful Connie! Love the inner detailed oriented part of you (OCD)! I should start giving mine numbers as well. I'm only on 45, and my husband suggested that it's time for me to stop collecting, because I have no more places to put them.

[Hedge]

One can never have too many ! If you run out of places, get more spaces!! Or grow smaller species?

Connie, attention to detail is good because that's what saves your life when you're on the savannah and a lion is on the prowl - we evolved to pay attention to details. I only have thirty orchids, but I managed to miss a new spike forming on my Burr. 'Nelly Isler' until it was two inchesand a spike on my Odontoglossum 'Anna Claire' until it was in full bud, they hide among the leaves......

.....and I am sure one year I completely missed the flowers on one of my cacti because they don't last long and they don't open if it rains and I was away for a week But I do have 85 of the cacti and succulents family

Great growing by the way, it's a lovely plant.

I think it is a variety of Mas. floribunda species. I'm still confused about how orchids get named beyond the species label. I got it originally from J & L. They have a lot of minis.

Nice work - so glad that you caught it before the flowering was done.

It's a real beauty - I love masdies and this one really shines.

78?? Time to round out the collection to an even 80, no? It's such a nice round number. But then again, so is 100!

Great growing.
