I'm going to be 23 next month, and I got my very first orchid when I was 20.

Be careful with your answer

I'll TRY to be careful with my answer. I think it's still young! However, French media don't think so. Last summer my mom nearly went through the roof when she heard on the radio that some fashion designer was looking for 45+year old people to model for senior citizen clothing. Understandably my mom was upset seeing as she's 50. What is the world coming to?? Soon 30 somethings will be considered old!!

Age is just a number...totally unimportant in the grand scheme of things

:iagree: :iagree:

I haven't hit 40 yet, but if I listen to my daughter, I'm ancient and lived in 'the olden' days...'!!

I did have orchids when I was 15, but I've moved too many times to have been able to keep all the plants I've had over the years.

Your physical age has nothing to do with your "real" age.
It's a matter of how you take care of yourself and genetics. I know people 30 years older than me who get around better than I do!

Its all in the head!

Take good care of your body and mind and you won't care about what age you are.
I hit 42 last july, I'm happier in my 40's then I was in my 20's. I loved my 30's
