You might be an orchid enthusiast

Ha! I think we have all done that. (I know I have)

I think some of those bottles make rather stylish containers, don't you?

When you can't see your furniture for all the 'chids ...you know you might be .

Well, i've got 300 pots and 8 flasks in the spare room..... And 200 plant seedlings hanging on one of my balconies.......One day i'll get round to shifting the plants down to the shade house.

...if you're a teenager who would rather buy orchids than video games.


I'd much rather own a gorgeous or unusual orchid than the latest game consol. I don't even know which one that is! Is it still the Wii, or did something else come out?

- If your friends frequently refer to your basement as "the flourescent jungle."

- If you have gone into debt to one of your friends in order to purchase a new 'chid

- when that little voice in the back of your head stops saying "not again" and instead says "Just... one... more..."

- when you are occasionally forced to sleep in your living room because the B. Nodosa in your bedroom smells too strongly (after all, you can't move the plant out, what if you sleep through sunrise? it would miss all that wonderful morning sun!)

- when you have pet frogs as a justification for all your terrariums.

and finally,
- when your parents take on your hobby because they've become so impressed by your 'chids.

HA! I love that last one Sktchy! That's what I'm trying to do with my parents!

When the people in the nurseries recognize you and ask, "why haven't you visited us lately?"

or

when the same people remember your past purchases and ask, "did you run out of clay pots yet?"


or


"how are those seedlings coming along?"


or tell you,

"let me show you this. I know YOU'LL like it" and they are right.




When your colleagues bring other colleagues that you've never met to your office with their sick, overwatered plants and say, "see, I told you she knows what she's talking about."

when you have a

"Please DO NOT TOUCH THE ORCHIDS" sign in your office, because you are tired of the same colleagues touching your blooms.

...you think people who don't grow orchids are weird and you are pretty sure there is something wrong with them

...or you take some blooming orchids somewhere and have trouble talking people into taking them home. You wonder "What is wrong with these people?" Carol
