The lengths we (and our friends) go to for orchids
So.....its April and I live it the far far north of the Yukon.
We dont have much for selection of orchids to buy here, some Phals and the occaisional Cymbidium,and only then when they can send up a heated truck .
Orchid withdrawal in overdrive....so I phone a friend in Saskatchewan because I saw that the Regina Orchid Society is having a show and sale.
Not such a big deal until you realize that Saskatchewan is almost on the other side of the country from me.
My friend agrees to go to the show and purchase some babies for me , and ship them up.
Heres where the good picture comes in .
Imagine the highly tatooed, heavily muscled, Harley riding Lesbian friend picking her way through the delicate seedlings and flowers of an orchid show,just to get some babies for her flower deprived friend all the way up at the top of the world.
Is that a friend or what?
