We orchid addicts are uncontrollable! What I think is funny is that when normal people pick out orchids they look only at the blooms. When I (we) pick out orchids, the blooms get a passing glance but the roots and leaves get a thorough inspection.

That is hilarious johnblagg! I would love to stumble across that scene when I am in Home Depot!

nice to know im not the only one who sits down sometimes either! onetime the home depot manager actually helped me!!

johnblagg-> thats soooo funny!
help-> I haven't had the manager help me yet.. but I've spent so many hours going through plants in IKEA that the staff recognize me!
It would be quite fun having a orchid Society meeting at the likes of home depo or B and Q.. 15 people sitting on the floor, lifting plants out of their pots! I think I'll have to suggest that.
