It's great that you have fun together; life's too short not to enjoy ur partner! I've been with my hubby since high school, I enjoy him most days! Lol!

I hope you both enjoy your trips! And hopefully he wins at the casino, so u can buy more orchids!

I WISH, he just came back from Vegas - with nothing - so have to wait for AC, however I would highly doubt he would give me any money if I told him it is for more orchids:-))) (he did hit some big ones in the previous years, and we had some amazing times!!!!!) And, on the top, I went through the TOF page yesterday again, because I really wanna get that Eurychone Rothschildiana that I read about on Friday here, and they do have one, and than I found 2 Masdevallias that should be very worm tolerant - Floribunda and Triangularis, so I want these too and than I found completely new genus to me - Scaphosepalum, and there are 2 that are worm to hot so must have them too, Fimbriatum and Rapax, so here we go! BUT, to find some new EXCUSE for MYSELF, these are all SMALL, so it is OK (so I do justify yet another order!!!!) BTW, any intel tips on these 2 Masdevallias and Scaphosepalums? I love masdis but so far I did not have much luck with them here in Florida, so looking for some really worm tolerant one and also Scaphosepalum looks like masdevallia or dracula to me little bit:-) You can shoot me PM with info about these if you have any experience, many thanks.

I just wanna say GOOD LUCK keeping that promise to yourself! Trust me, I did say to myself when I hit 30, than 40, than 50, than 60, than 70..........Once you start, you won't be able to stop:-) (I am probably around 100 now

[kindrag23]

Ummmm I dont think my budget can handle much more. Lol. That is what is keeping me grounded. Haha

[TOMMYMIAMI]

ok you made me do it, oppuuupppssseee, went to balcony, ok, so whatever is on the balcony, including 8 kekis that I potted this summer, it is now 96!!!! Shoot, plus 9 miniatures inside in Vase and terrarium. Than there is another 5 on the way from Andy's next week (minis), than there is big order coming end of September (cca 20), and I still do this TOF order, so it will get me to like 135. This is insane, my hubby is right, I am officially sick (BUT IT IS NOT TREATABLE), so there is nothing I can do anyway

[kindrag23]

Hahahaha wow well u got me beat there!
