Default My new friend!


I couldn't resist this guy today. I thought the orangey lip was kind of different and I guess that was enough excuse to buy another! There are 3 Trader Joes along my sales route that I go by everyday, fortunately I have curbed my buying habit to mostly internet/shows, but it's always a good treat on a tough day. It has great roots, a new leaf popping out and another spike developing, but no name. oh well...

Nice new friend Congrats!

Limiting myself to internet and shows could be pretty rough on the wallet too! Internet is open 24-7! rofl

Nice bright pretty color

Question - : How the heck do you curb orchid buying thru the internet
Must be a secret I don't know about
Anyways my advice would be not to try curb 'chid buying .... We don't want people talking about us do we?

Thank you,
I guess I should have said that I quit buying random noid phals. I am trying to limit myself to either: plants with scent, and colors/types I haven't tried. Come to think of it, I guess that isn't really limiting myself very much...
