Something to cheer you up on a rainy/snowy day! :idea:

A very nice place! Working with orchids indoors when the weather outside is frightful is my way of counteracting weather blues. I think this is true for most orchid people.

I feel ya. I live in an apartment, far away from any green space to call my own. My little 5 foot windowsill is an alcove to escape to. If only I was able to walk into it... one can hope. :blushing:

Great place to go :)

Actually that is the nurseries section of one local market – which thankfully is only a bus ride away. However not so thankfully it’s the place where I come to get stuff to hoard up my orchid collection, weekly but now becoming bi-weekly (bordering on tri…) There’s always something that catches my eyes on the way out, which necessitates a decision to make on the way home “oh shuck, now I’ll have to go back tomorrow to get that cute little thing before someone else gets their paws on it!”
