7 phals (and two kikis that are taking great!) , 3 dends, a lady slipper
(what IS that), and another one I don't know which is gorgeous.

mine are all in the west facing windows, inside. one of the phals has 3
spikes about to bloom! (haven't seen him do THAT for a while).

water once a week, spray occasionally. use 10-10-10 with good results.
repot when necessary.

contemplating joining the toronto orchid society. so much to learn.

I have about 150 orchids now.

I am a member of two clubs and am now a student orchid judge.

Enjoying it more everyday.

Most of mine are cool growing mini catts. I grow my orchids outside all
year round.

I've been reading the newsgroup for a while, and first off I'd like to
thank everyone for some damn good advice. And a few laughs.

Come on guys, fess up now. How many do you have, and of what types,
what's your setup, etc. This is just curiousity, mind you. I'm as
curious about those with one orchid as one thousand. I'll start it
off:

25-30 Dends, a dozen Phals, 3 Oncs, 5 catts,and a Paph. (many are
seedlings!)
In a spare bedroom under 4 flor tubes- 2 cool white, 2 nat sun
room has shaded east window and small north window
water about every 10 days, Shultz Orchid Food 1/2t per 4gal every
other.
I usually dunk most of the plants in a bucket to water- 5 min?
About a year into it.

I can't wait to read other responses! Hope it's all growing well where
you are.
