Not only did I go a little overboard with my Oak Hills order for the Spring project plant, by getting a few TCs... But I also just got a "baker's dozen" from Olympic Orchids (Olympic Orchids - the Orchid Finders ~) and a couple other little things!

I got these seedlings:
Phal. cornu-cervi chattalade form ****
Mounted Phalaenopsis species baker's dozen *
Angraecum distichum
Cattleya bowringiana ****

Hoping they are small enough so that I can hide them those who might not think it a wise purchase.

Pm me if you need some tips, I have managed to sneak in about 30 now. At least I am letting myself think they have not been noticed!!! LOL

ill hold them for a bit then send them to you... maybe :P

Lady Tottington · #5 05-03-2011, 10:55 PM

I forgot to mention what's in the bakers dozen:

Phalaenopsis: - amabilis - cornu-cervi - equestris - hieroglyphica - lobbii* - mannii - pulcherrima var chompornensis - pulcherrima x pulcherrima var chompornensis - schilleriana - stuartiana - wilsonii*
And Purchase all 11 and receive a bonus species Phalaenopsis and an Aerangis species of their choice

You know, if you havesomesneaking techniques, pleaseeeeee tell me! I think I may need to use them.

First you need an accomplice. Send the plants there and bring them home a few at a time when no one is there. Next, start re-arranging the existing plants so it is harder to tell what was there to begin with. Of course, don't use a form of payment that will be noticed by the other half.

Told you I was sneaky.

also, if you get any in bloom, cut the blooms off, so nobody notices the new pretties.

i heard about this old guy who bought big cattleyas at all the orchid shows and cut the blooms and gave them out to all the ladies, so his wife wouldnt notice!

show the hubby the orchid urinal, and tell him thats what you want. when he says no, tell him you are soo dissapointed ( even though its a urinal and your a girl ) and then say you will just get these instead

Oh my! What an enabler you are! Lady Tottington, I'm trying to keep my hands busy (typing for now), so they don't grab my credit card! I can't, can't, can't buy any more orchids... But it's my birthday soon. But I can't. But birthday. But no... Oooohhhhhh!
Well, if I decide to buy from them, I'll PM you, so you can call them and get that free plant (Customer Referral Offer). I do hope that I have SOME will power though...
