who agrees with me?

I do! That really bugs me! Why does an orchid always have to be a white Phal?

OMG !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

I do this ALL the time! It drives the living daylights out of me! My mom usually tends to walk away as I rant that the "vanilla orchid" is TOTALLY a Cymbidium, and how it is not that hard to put a picture of a vanilla flower on there!

you might be an "old" orchid enthusiast when you worry more about dropping yer plants than yer pants

You might be an orchid addict when. . .

. . . You are shocked when your friends don't care about orchids!

. . . You say you are saving your money, yet come home with a $20 Cymbidium. (True story! I had to, it WASN'T a NoID!)

. . . Your preferred type of orchid changes quicker and is less predictable than fashion!

. . . You have nice dreams/nightmares of orchid related things.(Also true story. Had a dream there was an orchid show and I missed it by a few minutes because I had to work. I did NOT wake up happy! )

. . . You are so delicate and protective with newly opened flowers that you snap like a rabid animal if someone tries to touch it.

. . . You wish your older brother would move out so you can turn his bedroom into an indoor greenhouse.

. . . You read every book about orchids that you can get your hands on. TWICE!

. . . You wish your Orchid Society met once a week, not once a month.

. . . Your plants under lights have a stricter bedtime schedule than you do.

. . . You jump up and yell when you see an orchid in the background of a T.V. show. . . and can tell what it is after seeing it for half a second.

. . . Orchid jokes come to you as if it was a second nature.

. . . And finally . . . you LAUGH at your own orchid jokes!

i used to keep my orchids in a room upstairs that had nice light and was GREAT. then i got my own room ( basement) but i lost my orchid places. so idk if thats a good thing or not...

yes, my plants do have a stricter bed time! hahah

you spend more time on OB than anywhere else! **raises hand**

you spend money on orchids when you should be saving for a car

you pause tv shows or movies to look at the orchids in the backgroun!
