Boyfriend did so good! Who else has gotten presents from their other half? - Page 3 - Orchid Board

I haven't got the tags like you do but I do remember which orchid he has given me when. Lol looks like I'm gonna have to start tagging each one though he has gotten me so many!

Its so nice that he supports my orchid addiction but its a mutual thing as I support him in his hobbies. Though, lol, I've helped to teach him how to tell a good orchid from one that's not so great by looking at the roots if possible and the general health of the plant.

I would say he's definitely a keeper! That's so sweet

I know it's the thought that counts but 99% sure that it won't be what I want when I want it. I'll just be disappointed that YOU don't know me better.

(No holiday or birthday giving either. Gifts should NOT be a calendar obligation.)

Oh now now.... Haven't you ever hear of a list? I have a list on google drive of all the orchids I am looking for. My guy appreciates the fact that I have a list for him so he knows what to buy if he is inclined.

Plenty of other options, chocolates come to mind.

I'm not TOO picky about chocolate.
