The internet is the devil! I am sitting here at work trying to talk my self out of purchasing a few nice Brassocatleya's I have found.......must...not...buy.....the shelf is to full and finance will choke me....lol.
Before my husband died, i would tell him that the orchid followed me home.....i don't think he believed me although I don't know why? Now that I am on my own, I am trying (trying) to be selective. (its sooo HARRRD!)
regards, m
Oh live it up , I have a habit of not getting something I really want as an in bloom Paph. lowii 3 years ago , still kicking myself .
I did buy a seedling might bloom next year (sigh) Gin
Oh Becca, you're just like me! I just bought 3 orchids on ebay last week and that was after I was already waking up in the middle of the night having panic attacks about where to put the ones I already have! I tell myself after each one that this will be the last but it hasn't worked yet. My boyfriend told me that the other day when he was walking through the living room he stopped, looked around and thought "we are living in a jungle!". The bad part is that I have just as many regular houseplants as orchids and those keep getting bigger. I need to join a support group!
Good one Gin! That's exactly what I was afraid of! This definately wouldn't be the support group to join if someone wanted to stop buying, too many enablers!! That's why I love it here....
My name is gin I am an orchidholic There is no 12 step program . Just a one step program buy buy buy ...
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
