Getting a plant to rebloom is one of the high points and still thrills me. I had never looked at how many that I have killed over the last 19 years until I decided to make a complete inventory, I have a program that list all the orchids that I have ever purchased. I was really shocked when I saw the member, about 600, I did learn one thing from this project - do not look at the bad side - dead plants. I have almost 400 orchids now and have decided it is time to reduce the collection - let me tell you that is harder than having one die naturally. You can always say that you have to find out what they needed that you did not provide but getting rid of them is like throwing your children or pet out.
