I gave in...SVO order!

[reliablefool]

Sooo, I gave in and put in an order. I kept resisting because I don't really have space for these plants, but they're so beautiful. I clearly like spots and "teeth." So, there's no room, but I order seven of these instead of two or three...
Clo. Jem's Speckled Russ 'SVO' AM/AOS x Ctsm. Karen Armstrong 'Golden Fire'
Ctsm. Frilly Doris 'SVO II' AM/AOS x Ctsm. denticulatum 'SVO II' AM/AOS
Ctsm. fimbriatum 'Golden Horizon' x Ctsm. denticulatum 'SVO II' AM/AOS
Ctsm. Dentigrianum (Ctsm. denticulatum 'SVO II' AM/AOS x Ctsm. tigrinum 'SVO')
Ctsm. tigrinum 'SVO' x Ctsm. fimbriatum 'Golden Horizon'
Mo. Jumbo World 'SVO' x Ctsm. pileatum 'Dinner Plate'
Ctsm. rectangulare 'Baker's Spotted Leopard' x Ctsm. cirrhaeoides 'SVO Darkness'

Order confirmed...should arrive NEXT week Thursday. Does this count as cruel and unusual punishment? xP

[bellini girl]

Cruel and unusual ??? Nah, what's wrong with acquiring awesome plants

[katrina]

Oh you silly, silly orchid addict...you have no idea what you have just done to yourself. Better go buy some more shelves and lights right now because that 7 will absolutely lead to more. Might as well just accept the reality of this situation right now...fighting it would only be futile.

Welcome to the wonderful, and sometimes very weird, world of Catasetinae!

Oh, I know I've gotten myself into trouble. About a year ago I only had seven or so orchids total...now I'm up to around thirty...not counting these seven. Not the fastest growing collection, but it has seriously cut down on my window/desk/yard space.

[Bulbofett]

Ah, you've done it now. There's no going back. You start with one Ctsm. and then next thing you know almost your entire collection is comprised of them lol.

[arcticshaun]

I don't think you will get anything but enablement from fellow orchid junkies here. I'm totally jealous of your order myself. Good luck.

I know that feeling!!! I always tell myself that I have no room until I notice that I can add suction cup holders or shelves. I envy you! It is always nice to anxiously await an order from SVO.

[reliablefool]

Well, at least it's not as much torture as I thought it would be...the email said NEXT week Thursday but I guess he meant this week. I have to keep myself from checking the tracking page every few minutes...it's not even close to me yet...they were just picked up by the carrier. Gah!

Also, stop enabling me! You should all tell me how I've done a terrible thing and I shouldn't buy orchids before I know where I'm going to put them :P

[Daethen]

Ok, you've done a terrible thing and you shouldn't.....Oh heck, I can't even type that with a serious face! Enjoy your new babies.
