Orchid Accidents
So Ross suggested, in another thread, that we start a thread on our Faux Pax. hehe. Here is mine:
" I once droped my camera, tripod and all onto my Phalaenopsis. I was very angry. But the plant has recovered. ANd then there was the time I droped a Phalaenopsis. It fell 6 feet, as I was holding it above my head to look under it. It survived too. But the worst is when my girlfriends baby cousin decided to have a fit and smashed the Phalaenopsis I gave to her as a gift on to the floor. That did not survive. It was in full bloom too, coming from the NYC International Orchid Show this past April."
