Default fess up- how many do you have? (on a lighter note...)

3 miltonia, 1 agraecum, 2 encyclia, 3 onciduim, 2 colmanara,3 paphs, 1
maxillaria, 1 zygopendium, 6 phals, 5 dends, 6 brassia, 12 catts3 cyms and 1
stanhopea that's played dead for almost a year now. A raffle table and Ebay
junkie. Many seedlings that will surprise me. I have enough for my
satisfaction, but wouldn't turn down a seedling or cutting.

windowsill garden, mostly clay tom pots in bark mix and now a few mounts on
cork. intermediate light, Shultz orchid food, also Growmore pink and blue,
and superthrive. I have a large empty plastic pot that I will soak the plant
in when needed. Water first then feed.

4 seasons here, most plants are hanging outside and will bring in as needed.
I read to keep cymbidiums out to 40 degrees

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.

I have about 50 plants (various ones). At one time I had about 70 but
have down sized in anticipation of moving in the next 6 months or so.
