Craziest orchid related thing you've ever done?

[daemondamian]

Ok how far would you go, or have you gone in your love of orchids?

I'll go first

I had my Masdevallias growing in my Jebo fishtank and over summer we had some days that were very hot- over 40 degrees celcius.....

so I put some ice in the tank to cool them down!

Want proof? You can't handle the proof? Ok check out the photo.

I have to admit that I went on a small vacation a few months back with my mounts in tow...next months vacation will be a different story...gonna work on a quick fix to keep them happy for 7 days without me. The woes of indoor growing.

lol. Ok yep that is a little crazy We're just talking 1-3 small mounts here right? Not some big specimen dendrobium?

What did people at the time think that knew you were doing that?

Ohhh I got a good one!

I was coming home from a orchid show in my area and I had spent much more money then I had intended. I knew my DH would be PISSED
In order to escape that "OMG, are you crazy" conversation for a few days I hooked several of the plants I had bought to the inside of my panty hose under my skirt. I kid you not...it was the absolute weirdest orchid thing I have ever done..but hey, it worked! He did not notice a damn thing! Well at least not till a few days later lol.

That was soo funny I had to share that with my family!!!!
Im afraid the craziest thing I've ever done for my orchids is go to work on a day off or during my vacation week (like tomorrow!!!!) just to water/take care of them.

That's a true orchid dad taking care of his babies Nothing better than yourself taking care of them...

Hehe Cheryl. Yea, everyone at work says Im too good. Well, I do it for the frogs too. But I'de rather not have my coworker take care of them unless Im going to Hawaii or something.

Frogs...ok you know me with Frogs...but am sure they love you and recognize you, just keep your planned trips a secret...they would look cute laying in the sun like the Gieko...
