my mom finally caught the bug
 

She's always been supportive and even enabling of my orchid addiction since it started. And now look what she picked out at Lowes' clearance rack.

I might have some extra competition in future OS raffles, lol

although I don't know where she's going to keep these; there's barely room for my own orchids, a fact I naturally acknowledged repeatedly while continuing to carry this in my hand

(even though I also don't even have enough POTS for all the other minis I have)

Excellent!

It all starts with a Phal... Next thing you know, you're trying to convince yourself that having orchids standing on every available and unavailable surface is all part of the new interior decoration fad, and that living on cat food for the rest of the month is perfectly fine...

;)

Sounds about right.

I opened this thread expecting something to do with actual bugs or mites.:lol:
