Oh my gosh Gin...that's the best...knew there was no hope for any of us...It's great isn't it.

Started with two, 95+ 6x8 room, 2 yrs later, eyeing the dining room , the best part about having so many is you can slide that "just one more" in with the other one's and who is gonna know

Go ahead buy buy buy

Hi all - long time no input too much work & not enough time. Any way onward. I'm sorry to say but once bitten there is no cure Because of room constraints I choose minis. Now for the bad news: even though I've been having problems with my plants (no one knows whats going on sample leaf being sent to Ag center) I still come home once a week with a new plant. Then there was the sale my poor brother is stuck with all the new plants till I fix my problem. So the moral of the story is just don't get started Luckily for me I'm not looking for the cure nor the 12 step. I'm looking for a more appropriate place for my plants
Typical just when I get on it's time for bed

What have I got myself into?

There's no cure????
If that's so, then I might as well go with a HUGE on my face. 'Cause I don't plan on finding a cure (unless it is getting my Vanilla Planifolia to bloom and getting pods..then making all sorts of goodies!).
I too make excuses to goto floral shops (very limited on where I can get orchids in my area. WHICH is my ONLY saving grace!).

Also since I found this site, it is MY conclusion that I have FOUND a support group...HERE!
Though you ALL seem to want to support the acquisition of getting more orchids...and it is a FANTASTIC group of people here.

For a good laugh . The Orchid Humor link attached below has ancedotes everyone on this board can relate to.
Page 1 is funny definitions and page 2 is 'Definitions of an Orchid Addict' - it had me giggling

I admit to sneaking orchids into the house and onto my growing table before my fiance gets home to notice!!!

[Dorothy]

Becca - and I just bet those orchids snuck into your car without you even knowing! ..
and you thought those were aerial roots ..
Heck no! Those are legs!

Oh God! And I thought I'm a maniac....

Oh come on! You can't take it with you when you go, and we're only here once! (or not ) There's no such thing as too many orchids! Judi
