Default Should I?

Thinking on buying a new orchid..

I've looked all around Melbourne, and without going into orchid shows or
private functions, the only place I can buy a Neofinetia is at this place
called Collections Corner (which is a bit of a drive away from me)..
Now.. The only thing they have are very small plants.. They are potted ..
Well .. They're practically the same size as the pictures Shell posted in
alt.binaries.pictures.orchids.

Very little with a few leaves coming out from them..

Now.. Would this be recommended or should I look harder into getting a fully
grown plant?
I've never had an orchid before and the only reason I chose this one was
because, well, it's the one I think looks best..

As well as the fact that it is fragrant.. That's rather appealing too..

I would probably be growing it under fluorecent lights.. (I can build some
sort of mini-greenhouse and set it under the lights, with a little fan
inside it to keep air circulation)..

Still.. I don't know if this would be too hard for me to keep.. Being that I
have not had any experiences with these plants..

Anyway.. Thanks for all your time and help.
