...when you buy a waterproof iPad case so you can bring your iPad into the greenhouse and check Orchid Board while you repot your new plants you just received in the mail.
...when you go on vacation and constantly think of bringing an orchid home.
...when you buy the orchid the day before you leave and are unable to obtain the proper documentation.
...when you ponder ways to sneak it past customs.
...when you almost pee your pants at the airport thinking that customs will find your orchid and will charge you a large fine.
...when you scold yourself after thinking about how much more orchids I could have bought with the money used to pay the fine.
...when you actually make it through customs and start to regret that you didn't buy more orchids.
...when you go home and discover that the cardboard box you used to carry your orchid has been smashed.
...you feel relieved when you open the box and find that the orchid is fine
...when you start planning your next trip so you can bring back more orchids.

So true! I got the Lifeproof case for the iPad.

When you go shopping for kitchen items and start getting sidetracked checking at things like bamboo skewer to see if they could be useful as moisture level checking tool or a possible spike stake.
When you see a beautiful orchid and buy that as a gift for someone who you know doesn't know how to care for orchids, and that orchid eventually comes back to you for your keeping. lol
When you used to think it is crazy to pay for drinking water but now you find yourself buying bottled water for your orchids but you still drink tap water.
When you convince your partner that you need a water filter system installed for the entire house for better health when in reality you wanted purer water for your orchids.
When you see less and less of your cups and mugs because they end up as decorative container for your miniature orchids, and you go out shopping for some more...for your orchids.

That's exactly what I did the last time we moved. lol
Large bright windows are not only great for orchids, but they are also great for us, humans I think. I'd be so depressed without them!

That sounds like a great reward though!  |
When you buy an orchid as a present for a friend/relative, but decide that the orchid will be happier with you.
