Default orchids, love and raves


Greetings fellow orchid enthusiasts,

Allow me to introduce myself. im an individual with a deep passion for orchids, caving, exploration, and the occasional rave. Yes you read that right. my interests might seem eclectic, but they are all interconnected in my journey of self-discovery.

Let's dive into the world of orchids first. Oh, where do I even begin? The diversity within the Orchidaceae family never ceases to amaze me. From the elegant Phalaenopsis to the exotic Vanda, each species has its own unique charm and demands. My personal favorite has to be the Cymbidium orchids, with their captivating fragrance and stunning array of colors. There's something truly magical about nurturing these delicate blooms and witnessing them flourish under my care.

But my love for orchids goes beyond mere admiration; it's been a source of solace and joy during some of the darkest times of my life. You see, being single for the past five years hasn't been easy. I still remember the warmth of companionship and the shared dreams I once had with my former partner. However, as life often does, circumstances changed, and we went our separate ways. The void left behind was profound, and I struggled to find my footing in a world that suddenly felt unfamiliar.

It was during this tumultuous period that my passion for orchids truly blossomed. Spending countless hours tending to my orchid collection became therapeutic. The rhythmic routine of watering, fertilizing, and repotting provided a sense of purpose and stability when everything else seemed chaotic. In their silent beauty, I found comfort and companionship, nurturing a sense of resilience within myself.

Of course, my love for exploration hasn't waned either. Whether it's delving into the depths of caverns or venturing into uncharted territories, the thrill of discovery fuels my spirit. And yes, I'll admit, the occasional rave serves as a much-needed escape from the rigors of daily life. There's something liberating about losing yourself in the pulsating rhythm of music, surrounded by a sea of strangers united by a common desire for euphoria.

But as fulfilling as my solitary pursuits may be, there comes a point when the yearning for companionship resurfaces. And so, I find myself contemplating reentering the dating scene, eager to explore the possibility of finding love once again. Perhaps it's time to step out of my comfort zone and mingle with like-minded individuals who share my passion for adventure and self-discovery.

Which brings me to my final point – hosting an event to meet the love of my life. While the thought may seem daunting, I'm determined to make it a memorable experience for all involved. So, dear fellow enthusiasts, I turn to you for advice. How does one go about throwing a rave that strikes the perfect balance between excitement and intimacy? Any tips or insights would be greatly appreciated as I embark on this new chapter of my life.

In conclusion, let us continue to celebrate the beauty of orchids, the thrill of exploration, and the resilience of the human spirit. And who knows? Perhaps amidst the vibrant hues of blooming flowers and the pulsating beats of music, love may just find its way into my heart once again.

Hey there unknwnr4ver!
Just saw your post as I am a new user as well, your writing is so poetic and inspiring!
I love adventure and of course gardening (mostly orchids) as well, how is your love life going at the moment??
I have found some luck in the past with local community gardening clubs <3

Hey there! Can't believe someone got back to me so quickly. Thanks for your kind words! I'm glad you enjoyed my post.

As for my love life, well, it's been quite the rollercoaster lately. I had a fling with a lovely lady who shared my passion for gardening, and obviously orchids. We spent many delightful hours together, tending to our plants and exploring new gardening techniques. But alas, life had other plans, and she had to move back to the states. It was a bittersweet goodbye, filled with promises to keep in touch and maybe even visit each other someday.

In the meantime, I'm trying to fill the void by immersing myself in raves. I've been thinking about delving into the rave scene more, attending more events, and maybe even hosting one myself. There's something exhilarating about the energy of a rave, and I feel like it could be a great way to meet new people and create some unforgettable memories. Plus, who knows? Maybe I'll meet someone else who shares my love for both adventure and gardening along the way. Life's full of surprises, after all!

Do you have any interests outside of orchids?

Hey again!
It is amazing that we can talk together so quickly from across the world, it's 11am here in the Seychelles..
I'm sorry to hear about your relationship with your fellow orchid-lover, but your interest in raves is quite cool!
I am sure you will find a dancing orchid lover hahaha.
I am a music appreciator myself! I do love electronic music, but more old-school and ambient music like Brian Eno and Tangerine Dream. I used to live in the UK and the warehouse parties back in the day sound exactly what you were looking for! The rebellious spirit of raving and orchid cultivation seem to go hand in hand!
I am currently working on a greenhouse here to keep my orchids even happier, and they seem to love music too! have you ever listened to Plantasia? The orchids love it, check it out https://youtu.be/l0vrsO3_HpU

Anyways, what kind of rave would you like to host?

Wow I am living in Australia 5:16pm as I write this for me and yes!! I love that album I play it in garden for my plants and orchids all the time! I was thinking about setting up a speaker down there just for them.

I would like to host something that combines all my interests if possible caving and orchids. There a few cave like areas in the city I am in in Australia.

But also something focused on meeting new people and trying to break away from social media (hence why I am writing here on this forum instead of FaceBook). I really want people to stay present try to meet each other and make friends, break out of their shells get a bit uncomfortable, I want it to be about people connecting, and people spending as little time on their phones as possible.

I just have no idea where I would even start. I have some friends who are DJs and I have an idea about speakers. What do you think?

It's very easy my friend I have hosted a lot of events here just on the beach. Usually I create a website to let everyone know about it (but we don't release the location until 24 hours before hand). I have a team I work with and we promote it on Instagram (I am not a fan of social media either but some times we have to accept it).

It's great that you know DJs, usually I just rent a speaker, find the location (you mentioned something similar to a cave in your city?) Take them all down there at the event time and release it via the website. Have a go making one and send it here when it is ready, also let me know when it is! You could make it Orchid themed!!
