Orchid Frenzy :O

Generally, I ordered 20 Vandas, 20 dendrobiums and 10 phals. I am loving this...
But for my personal collection, it sucks when I have to order supplies. Its like a 75$ order with 190$ shipping...:O (to Pakistan)
The college won't give me supplies for personal use.

Wow, this is terrific, being able to order these through your college and not have to find places to put them in your home.

Of course, once the project is done, no harm in taking a few for yourself, right?

Took me 2 hours (I usually divide them into 3 watering shifts throughout the week), and I decided that maybe I'll only get 5-6 new ones...

Camille I have four groups of orchids. A day between each group. Problem with this system is you think, oh sure another orchid can fit in this group. Lol

btw camille,...yes I can!!! BWAHAHAHAHAHA!

But as of now, supplies for the 50 orchids I'm personally receiving is proving to be EXPENSIVE. I order my orchids bare rooted so I could plant them in whatever I want to so I have to get supplies with 100$ shipping!!!

theres no florists shops at all in kuwait? maybe you could go to a florist and share a shipping charge? you're very lucky to have access to your schools greenhouse

I LIVE IN PAKISTAN. Pakistan wasn't there in the drop down list so I randomly chose kuwait. And we we do have florists and garden centers but no orchids or orchid supplies...

I notice that you have to repeat that a lot since you can't get the right flag. In your user profile you can type in your location and it will appear on all your posts right under the date you joined. In that case you could just do away with the flag to avoid confusion.
