My orchid collection.
 

I am new to this site and kind of new to orchids. I killed my first Phalaenopsis years ago. A friend gave me an orchid in 2009. I almost killed it but then learned the ways and the plant is doing great blooms well for me.

So since learning how to care for orchids I slowly bought more. These past few month I bought a lot. went from 3 to 8 orchids. Here they are.

1 is my first white Phal it bloomed a few months ago and I have a spike on the way.

2 these are all 3 of my small Phals all have spikes starting. So excited because the one upper left I almost killed. It's been a year since it bloomed. I have 2 spikes on it now.

3 This is my Fave Phal its amazing and blooms like CRAZY!.

4. My poor Brassia spider orchid I abused this thing left it in the car when shopping on a hot day. Now it have ugly sunburn. BUT new growth!!!!

5 I got this Phal from a friend I think it is really neat. The roots on this plant were out of control I repotted it and wow I can not get over how many roots were smashed into a cup size pot.

6. This is my Fav it looks awesome and smells even better my heaven scent sweet baby . I thought this was the last orchid I would buy . HAHA.

7. sweet baby Flowers.

8. I bought this Miltonia or so the tag said it is. I bought it for $3.50 because it was not in bloom. I have no idea what this one looks like. I have 2 new growths on it so time will tell. This was a rescue. Next time I went to the store all the ones that were dieing.

9. Zygonisia Murasakikomachi my newest and I had mix feeling about it at first. I was not sure I was going to keep it. I like it more now. I was attracted to it because of the Leaves and its funny small round bulbs. It was also very healthy looking. It's going to test of my orchid growing skills I think.

You're off to a great start!

Nice collection! The Zygonisia is very pretty, looks like you have good sun for your orchids.

They all look very good. Nice variety.

Very nice!

Very nice! You already know I love your Zygo, but all the others are beautiful too. It will be interesting to see what the Miltonia is; did the tag say anything else?

You've paced yourself quite well with your purchases, don't feel bad you went from 5 to 8. How many of us are hanging our heads at our own LACK of pacing? :D

Thanks for sharing.
