I would be very interested in people sharing their opinions about defining a collection. The things that I have are just too varied and there doesn't seem to be 'a plan' - and I like to have a plan...:wink:
The two things I'm mulling over during the holidays (after New Year's seems like the best time to start things like this!) are 1) my overall collection - which is made up of Paphs & Phrags, Pleurothallids, Neofinetia, Dendrobiums, and an assortment of other odds and ends. Now, do I focus on maybe one or two of those, instead of all of them? 2) The thing that really started me thinking about this in the first place.... my Paphs. I've got quite a mixed lot, again, some of this type, some of that type, some species, many hybrids. Do I want to try to keep within on section, maybe two? Or is a 'postage stamp' collection something that is manageable and satisfying?
What do other people do? What strategies have you used? What would be a good 'plan'?
Thanks in advance for your help with this!
