Bought five more!

I am done. No more orchids for me this year, I am completely out of grow space (and feeling kind of guilty about my compulsive orchid-hoarding disorder.)

Zip and Dubiosa grow like weeds. My plants from previous years should flower this summer.

I wish he'd remake Ipanema Beach. Those two grew faster than any other Catt alliance plants I've had, until they got eaten.

Thanks for the heads up about Zip and Dubiosa! Next year, I’ll cull and toss any blooming-sized plants in my collection that haven’t performed well in the past two years, to make more space.

I want to believe you, but as a fellow orchid crack head, I know that you haven’t stopped buying orchids for the year in February 🤣😂

Why not cull and sell? I'm sure someone will want your cast offs.

Or if you live near an orchid society, donate to raffle table or auction. And joining a society is also a great way to share ideas with others who grow under conditions similar to yours.

Repotted my SVO plants and a new growth on one of the walkerianas fell off. Ouch!
