I dont mourn dead plants any longer. I rejoice in the opening they leave me for 2 more

I grieve a pinocchio I lost a while back because finding a replacement is hard (but I have one now). I've lost too many to remember

I grieve them most when I don't understand whey they died. I find it irritating when they just suddenly drop dead. If I can see a steady progression of getting worse due to my bad care then it's easier because I can learn what I did wrong.

I like Squirrels idea though. Lets just celebrate the space to choose some more

I do agree with squirrel on the part about getting more room for more. I have a very small collection so I try not to let any orchids die.
By the way Rosie, nice new avatar!
