The Virtues of Orchid Growers

[My Green Pets]

I was just staring at the spike growing out of one of my orchids today, talking to it, telling it how pretty it was and how nice its spike was coming along and what a pretty girl she was! ...um anyway yeah

So I was thinking 'Golly, it's going to take a looooong time for that spike to grow, and form buds, and bloom...'

And it hit me!

One must be patient to be a successful orchid grower!

Patience is the key!

Would you describe yourself as patient? What other virtues do you think come from growing these wonderful plants?
