Amateur. A word born from the Latin amator,the lover.I cannot put a Dollar value on love [althuogh my last wife cost me a bundle].If I thought about how much I've spent on orchids since 1973,I'd quit now and take up collecting dust bunnies or wierd potato chips.Brad

My mind won't let me go there, either!
I just started in February and have 40 orchids (haven't lost one yet, but give me time), 4 sets of grow lights, several humidity trays, various fertilizers, 3 sets of wire shelves, 2 humidifiers and one very patient and understanding husband.
Now, just don't ask me about my photography hobby!
I guess this tally explains why I can't afford to retire.....

jusat guess: about 200 plants with prices ranging from few to "too many" €s ("too many" is my partner's opinion! not mine); a large Orchidarium with automatic misting system and T5 Lamps; Shelve for all other orchids with corresponding light system; Pots; culture substrats; Fertilizer; Fungicides; insecticides; some friends taking care of them when on holidays and corresponding dinners to say thank to all of them; and so on... do you think that all would have any material value? it depends.. some people would say it is worth a coupel of thousands, others would say it is just a waste of money with no real value at all... and I say "it's part of my life!"

I guess I'm not the most seriously obsessed person after all.
