what got you hooked

Hello.
Well im new here and have loved chatting to you all and getting helpfull advice and suggestions so thank you. But what i wondered was what was it that originally got you hooked and is it just orchids you all keep. For me i got a phal after debating as everyone said dont it wont last......but i did and that was months back and its still in bloom!! I now have 5 phals a mini phal an oncidium and a dendrobium nobile along with more houseplants. I would love more orchid species
