I have one myself, as I just moved out (going to college) but when I was home I convinced my mom to buy a bunch ;) I don't do the whole pollinating and all of that stuff, but I can keep them alive :D Here are some pics from when I went to the orchid show at the MO Botanical Gardens a few months ago (managed to drag Chad along with me):

My other hobbies (I don't really count orchids as one of them, I just like them :)) include photography, animals, reading, science (veterinary medicine), and drawing/painting.
