So I had to have lunch and get up the courage to count.

I have 39 pots--most of them large. This number doesn't reflect the tray full of little itty bitty paphs, even though they have their own pots. I mean, I take them everywhere together on that tray, so of course, that only counts as one.

Most of my pots are 6" and up because my habit is to usually order two of one plant and plant them together for a nice full established-looking pot with lots of blooms. Also helps them not to dry out so fast in this arid climate. I know this isn't usually done, but hey, I'm a long ways away from the nearest orchid society. :-) My theory is that it's like planting tulips--they look best in groups of the same. And the way the collection looks in my living room is important to me.

So I'm glad we're only counting POTS here....

And it doesn't include the new orchids that will arrive next week. I figure this thing is self limiting in that to water all these little thirsties I have to haul them to the kitchen sink. Not a trivial task.
