Did I read correctly-SBOE is going to ship your plant on the 25th-a Friday? Where will your precious plant sit all weekend on its odyssey from Cal to Fla? I hope it gets there OK. And, yes, you are absolutely, completely, totally insane. Welcome to the club.

You are about as insane as the rest of us!! I have added 17+ new chids in the last 2 1/2 weeks. A friend was downsizing and boy did I have fun there and then a trip to Smileys to finish it.

Lovely choice and beautiful color.

Thanks Lorraine. I know!!! 3 years ago I would have thought it insane to spend $$$ on a plant. Well, they aren't "just" plants, no?


SBOE shipped it last night.

Lookie lookie here!!

Talking Final update....................

Hey guys!

Here's the orchid I've been babbling about for the past month. It doesn't look like much (yet):












Hope you enjoyed the pics, and thank you for sharing my enthusiasm!!
