I am psychotic?

[Akewataru]

Maybe you are, but I'm worse! I went to the 2011 Redlands Show in May and spent nearly $400! I got five terete vandas/papilionanthe, three 3 phrags, 3 psychopsis, one catt, and two phals. I would have bought more but my mother held me back. Ahh, to be young and in love...

Not to steal Cody's great posting, and to thank him for his link to Clouds Orchids, but am I going crazy to order the following from them and pay on average $20.00/2.5" potted plant including shipping, CITES/Phyto to the USA, and a $5 drop fee? Not to mention I haven't a clue where I'd put them in the greenhouse. Cody, it may be your birthday but STOP enabling some of us.... pleeeeassse. It's bad enough I have to get therapy.

Oh wait a minute, I think the producers of Horders are at my door.... I'll be back soon....

It fills my heart with joy knowing I am the reason that someone is making themselves go bankrupt from orchids! The only thing I have to add is you Americans have it easy! Not only do you have a bijillion vendors down there, but you barely have to pay anything to get something from Canada across the border! My orchid society was going to do an order from Hausermann's, but due to all the extra junk, it would have been triple the advertised price!

You won't find us thinking you are mad splurging on orchids... we're enablers we are

I just thought I would let you all now that according to the postal system website, my babies have been processed at the delivery depot in my city, so I should get them sometime today! I just hope that the tracking number is correct, because on the postal site, it said that expected delivery is tomorrow, but I don't know if I can wait! I also found out that my bonus seedling is a C. forbesii! The tension is killing me!!

It is great to know that I am not alone in my insanity, but I think I am going to go off the deep end, as my babies have been sent out on delivery, and every sound I hear I think it is the delivery person! The money literally came out of no where! All of the sudden, I had a ton of possibilities to do extra work, and with my birthday money, and my actual job money, it all just added up, to what enabled me to go on this orchid binge!

I just got my Cloud's order and there was C. forbesii as a freebe too. Good sized one.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY !!!! You should have purchased the phals too...they will be snatched by somebody else...I buy on the spot anything I like that is available; because I tend to pine over something I let go when I had the chance to buy it...
