Would you really Work For Orchids?
 I did. Well I didnt plan on wroking and getting anything from it. I just volunteered to help at last nite's
S.F.O.S meeting and help Bob Hatos transport some of his huge collection of vandas for his presentation. He was nice enough to insist? on giving me these. I thought it was super generous of him. I am still thanking him.
By the way that is my partially completed pergola and the mess that is eveywhere is from that project.  |

Yes, I would, and can you please send him to the Central Orchid Society meetings? I will play dumb and help him out and then throw stones at his car if he doesn't offer me plants! JK.... I would really work for orchids though. As long as I was fed too 
That was really nice of him to give those to you, especially in bloom. I am sooooo jealous! I think I might move to Miami.... |

yeah I'll take that sorta thank you anytime. Really I tried to stop him after the second one but he insisted I tell you. What was I to do?
yeah Tics, that's where I've been, I only take one day off and I've been working on a bunch of projects outside. Specially that pergola, it's taken a lot of my time. It takes more time,tools,space,money than I had, but it's cool Im enjoying the journey.
By the way I just put those vandas up where I could when I got home late last nite. I will probably move a few around the pool area.
Thanks for your input
