Over here we have a saying, Life is to short to stuff a mushroom! Now I have adapted this several ways, Life is too short to pass up an orchid, Life is too short not to treat yourself to an orchid, Life is too short to deprive yourself of an orchid,Life is too short tomiss an orchid. And to husband's, would you rather have an empty space or an orchid and a happy wife!
I went to see an orchid grower on our uk board last week, he'd been to Peterboro. He'd paid $80 for an orchid I'd never heard of, but he was made up with it and said he hadn't told his wife how much it cost! I told him to keep it on a need to know basis! He gave me 4 plants bless him! " days later he had ( inches of rain in the bottom of the greenhouse because of local flooding! The plants are ok and his house just escaped!
Orchid folk are the best in the world! Judi

Sure there is a 12 step program. Just buy a new orchid each month. There are 12 months to a year. Worry about next year when it comes. LOL I'm here surfing the net for July's new orchid. Husband is buying me a new bakers rack for the patio. It's his fown fault he gave me a Christmas present of an "Orchid a Month" I get to choose it. If it's little I get 2.
Enjoy them while you can!!!

Give it up, you don't stand a chance. We just enable each other to buy more.

Why else do we post pictures.....to get everyone to and add to a 'must have' list.

I agree with all of you, my answer was to build a green house in the back yard and bring in only the flowering orchids and put the on the dining table, well the table got crowded, then the wife made me build a sun room next to the kitchen, that is getting full, I hope I don't have to buy a larger house.

My mother is here visiting. I want to take her to Clown Alley Orchids to visit the green house. She doesn't grow orchids but would be so very easy to convert. ;} Trouble is, I am so very afraid to take myself there. Maybe I could leave my wallet at home and make her promise to not loan me any money. Life is hard. Gladys
