Say hello to my complete lack of self-control, AKA New NOID Phal

[sapphirerose]

My table is ready and my dachshund mix knocked over my weakest orchid, so that means orchid shopping time, right?

Got to double the whole collection at this point. Got to teach those dogs a lesson.

I'll have to start looking. Kroger had that called to me when I went out for milk.

Yeah. I didn't know what I was getting into there. However, he likely won't actually care or notice if something isn't a phal.

Dogs. We might love them but the orchids do not. This summer, when the orchids were outside, we had an unexpected thunderstorm and the Malti-poo got scared and jumped on my orchid shelf and knocked all the orchids on that shelf out of their pots. Some did not recover and I still cannot figure out which Angraecum didieri is the named one.

I would be heartily shocked if my husband could identify any of the plants in my collection unless they had fruit. Even then.....

Wow if you get all that for a dog knocking over an orchid, is there anything about a worker coming to the house and stepping on one? (Broke the spike right off. That was not a happy day)

So, my mastiff would have been fine. But the dachshund mix is bad. :P

The mastiff mostly naps, so I can see it.

Dogs are so loving...how could we not forgive them?

I need to reread the entire contract, I like that.
