... when your 5 year old sister knows more about orchids than most average 50 year old people.
... when every other dream is about orchids.
... when you're always sizing up clear containers for pots.

...when you make a long, lengthy, and venomous venting facebook post about ebay merchants selling "10 orchid seeds" or "blue phalaenopsis" and you're honestly PISSED about it.  |

...when you go to buy an orchid and then also end up draining water in all of the 'non-holed ornamental' potted orchids at the local supercenter.

I do that with mini orchids at Home Depot (the only place I ever see them). They are literally always flooded. Oddly, except for maybe one, I've never seen this happen with regular-sized orchids anywhere.

2014 members let's bring this thread back to life! Lol.
...when your web browser shows that you've been more active on Orchid Board than any other site...
...when you get a kick out of trying to remember as many of your Orchid names as possible...
...when you become child like at the site of a new Orchid (especially one you've wanted for a while and get as a gift already convinced that no one could buy you Orchid as a gift because you already have so many...)...
...when you won't stop checking ebay <i> just to see </i> what new Orchids the sellers you follow might have, but swear you won't buy anymore...
...when your collection quadruples in a matter of months of your "just becoming" a collector/grower...
...when the highlight of your day is the new growth you just found on one, or several, of your Orchids...
...when you panic that an Orchid plant or bloom shows signs of failing/illness/death...
...when you've gotten so many new Orchids you stop posting pictures and sharing each time you get a new one because it's a little embarrassing, lol...
...when you wonder if Orchid growing could be a formidable new career choice...
I'll think of more, I'm sure of it...
