I bet people don't think you are a orchid hoarder since you all reduce the number of orchids you have! It is only a matter of time before your numbers get back up there!

The person who gave me my first orchid had a small greenhouse like that -- built into the ground. I thought seriously about doing that, but it wasn't really feasible here.
That's one of my concerns, also. I've seen too many collections die from neglect, disease and bugs when their owner got ill or died.
I'd bet on that!

Gee! Jorch! Come out of the closet and admit you are a Orchid Hoarder! I think a real Hoarder is someone who has too many things that they can't take care off! Like the Phal violacea alba that you sold me with scales!
Paphman910
scales can be removed. If you still have the plant and dont want it...:crazy:

Paphman, try and get some Merit (Imidacloprid). It works wonders on scale!

Interesting! I never found scale on my paphs or phrags (or other plants) and just that loner Phal is infected? Well, thanks for letting me a year down the road
oke: You could've told me right after you got it in the mail!

Not really a big deal! Just a single plant and it could happen easily! You still haven't come out of the closet!

You bought the plant in 2008, and I have been active on this forum the whole time, AND bought plants from you in the past 2 years. I'm hiding from you? Really?? OK, No need to hijack this thread. I'll PM you.

Jorch! I owe you an apology, I think my email account may have had problems sending emails from different locations due to spam list or firewall! I am not trying to ruin your reputation and it is just a misunderstanding on my part!
Now the one million dollar question! Have you come out of the closet yet!
Paphman910
Boy, I really have a problem! I just got word that I received 2 orchid shipments today. One I knew about from Springwater and the other...
It turns out I had bought some phrags from Tom Kalina and forgotten about them. Only 2 more orders this month to go! :crazy:

I have a problem myself! I'm at a crossroads.....either a future Orchid Hoarder or an Orchid Addict! Or both!:rollhappy:
Got to go to my much needed (Orchid) Meeting to get help!

I think that my living room and of NYEric's are alike now...lol... Since the unavailability of heat in the gh, I cannot leave them at night, so took them inside. Only some dendros and terrestrials remained outside...!
Paphman, I do not think there is a clear distinction between these terms, I am both definately!!! hehe

Thre's always room for more orchids!
Dont they sell/auction orchids at those meetings!?
oke:
orchid meetings usually always have raffle tables and sometimes people selling plants and supplies, unless a vendor is speaking in which case they usually are selling plants. also often a meeting or two a year involves an orchid auction of some kind. ... see what you've been missing?! the only 'help' someone will receive at a meeting, is someone ready to show someone else where they can find more orchids!
nyeric, i'm sure there are orchid people 'upstate' that would be happy to relieve you of some of your 'orchid overflow' :rollhappy: or rent out some space!
as a funny, there is a fellow club member who moved to connecticut for work, and then again to new jersey... most of his orchid collection is in the homes of fellow club members or orchid judges. he even received awards on some of his plants that have spent a few years in other's homes! soon he won't be able to remember what is where...
