The Story Behind Your Username!

[My Green Pets]

I've seen some pretty interesting usernames on here, so maybe you will be inclined to share your story

Mine is pretty self-explanatory. I was in Leroy Merlin (a big home-improvement chain store in Europe) and saw a load of different Oncidium-type hybrids. Upon checking the labels, they all said the same thing: 'Cambria'.

Having never seen one before, I was like "Cambria? Cambria what?!"

And that night, I joined the Orchid Board.

The end.

[Laserbeak]

Laserbeak was a toy/cartoon character from the original Transformers. It was a pterodactyl like creature that transformed into a cassette tape and fit inside the other robot Soundwave who was a giant 1980s-style boom box. Soundwave had a few other cassette Transformers inside of him, I think there was a Laserbeak twin and there was a large cat like robot. He sent them out to do things for him.

Soundwave was awesome! And the toy was, too! There was one at my babysitter's and we kids would always fight over it

I have done a ton of gardening during the past 40 years, and I find I actually like to weed. I am also addicted to reading about old English estate gardens, many of which had a small army of local "lower-class" women whose job it was to weed the beds. They were the weederwomen. I am pretty sure I was a weederwoman in a past life. And no, I don't smoke it

It's Latin for "under the rose". In Roman times when a rose was suspended from the ceiling of the senate chamber it was a signal to all present that what was discussed was not to leave the room. And that's all I can tell you...........

I have no interesting story, it's my first name and initial of my surname. But great to hear the stories of some of the interesting names

G1: Laserbeak and Ravage (It Is My Plan) - YouTube

The cat was named Ravage.

This brings back memories, I always watched this before I walked to the bus stop for middle school!

I (mostly) get a lot of enjoyment out of growing and propagating orchids. "Fun" at the end is a lot less tongue-twisting than frustrating or complicated - and maybe I am a bit too old to have used "cool"

Tuvoc(k) was the orchid growing Vulcan on Startrek Voyager.
