    You and Angie are absolutely right about "practicing" on an inexpensive orchid - I should have emphasized more that it took me FIVE of those before I moved on. You can learn a lot trying to rescue a sick orchid that will come in handy when you run into issues with a more expensive one. It IS possible to get inexpensive orchids that are beautiful and healthy - I guess my point was to encourage you to follow the natural progression that Angie referred to and that most, if not all of us have gone through, and on our own time and in our own ways. I just wanted you to know there's so much fun in store for you in the future.
