Default Greenhouse visit

Hi all

In alittle while I'll be off to visit a orchid greenhouse. I've been wanting to go for sometime now, just never made it.
It's local about 20 min out from us, not bad eh?!
This is slightly strange for me since I've never bought an orchid in winter - the warmer months are the prime buy time. I can't tell you guys are fun this is for me, (I know, YOU know what I meen)

Well, I'm gonna head off and spend the money I don't have
I'll post back on the new pretties later on ...

Thanks! Me too Sue, If we ever get there, trip has been cancelled due to the lovely freezing rain Comming down in buckets, not safe to drive.

Tomorrow may be the better day, it'll be warmer too, so just the normal rain.
Strange weather everywhere!

I'm still pumped for tomorrow tho'!!

Orchid Greenhouse 20 minute drive from you? Man oh man, I would be packing food and a sleeping bag and staying a while. It is winter and traveling back can be difficult. Yup yup, I would be staying right there for a few days anyway!
I have an orchid greenhouse just one hour and ten minutes from me, and I spend hours just taking in the beauty of it all, smells, and sounds (classical music playing in the background). Then I get down to the business of purchasing. Just doesn't get any better than that. That reminds me, I'm due for a visit!

It's only 20 min. from your house and you've never been before????? Are you ill woman??

Wise decision to wait til tomorrow. The northern part of Oregon and most of Washington is getting pounded by an ice storm. Nasty!!! Be safe!

Drive safely. Buy wisely. Have fun!! Just remember, you can never buy just one!!!
They are saying that we will have highs in the upper 50's to lower 60's tomorrow, so your weather should be above freezing.

I was actually thinking we need of what gets back to the house, not necessarily what's in the greenhouse
