My learning experiences with orchids, learning how to buy them. Experiences I've had growing orchids and dividing orchids. Buying orchid pots and oriental porcelain and ceramic planters and cache pots to put my potted orchids in.

Asian Orchid Pots
I am still on the lookout for vintage or antique asian orchid pots to add to my collection. I scour ebay, the local flea markets and garage sales for that special bargain find as I know that someday in the far flung future I will have too many and will probably end up selling them the same way...but hey isn't that what collections are all about. I have a modest collection of peacock trinket boxes, ceramics, vases and am always on the lookout for those too. If you are into collecting any particular trinket as a special reward to yourself or just because you gotta have it then you know what I mean. Some woman collect handbags - mine is atrocious according to my cousin who is a handbag afficiando. I get no joy from collecting handbags so that will never happen. I just can't picture myself putting a handbag on the shelf by the window and admiring it - that I can only see doing with asian orchid pots and oriental planters. They are so much prettier especially if they have some gold gilding on them. I also love the floral designs or geisha motifs. Of course if I find one with a peacock on it that is a double special prize.
