I did it again..........
I went to Lowe's to pick up some leaf lettuce seedling. That's all I needed
and wanted. I wandered through he greenhouse and spotted two new phals! Oh I'm a sucker for phals. One was yellow with some small purple petals around the center-bottom of the flowers. The flowers are large. The other had a branched stalk with many smaller flowers in a nice solid purple like one of those lost in a storm a few years ago! They were $12.99 each. And of course I had to take another 1/2 price Dendrobium. What was I thinking? This is a terrible addiction...... terrible! Did I mention I also bought them their own small 10" box fan to keep the air gently moving in their spot in the sunroom? I'm an orchid junkie. When I got home and started placing them in the sunroom I noticed some shriveled pseudo-bulbs I couldn't bear to toss out have small sprouts on them!!!!!!!! |

Unfortunately, that admission only works when attempting to rid oneself of drug addiction or alcoholism. It will not start you on the path to recovery from orchid addiction. Nice try. Sorry!

You will unseat everyone in the car! "Excuse me, excuse me, is my four foot
wide Cattleya bothering you? Soooooooooo sorry!" Heh. Diana wrote in message oups.com... On Mar 30, 9:35 am, "Claude" wrote: Hello... Speaking of addiction....

Boxes fit conveniently on your lap, yes? Something the size of an Amazon box would do nicely. And/or those white plastic grocery bags can fit quite a few 3 to 4 inch pots in them..... hang from the wrist well, too, leaving hands free for more shopping. Culture sheets can add just a soupcon of structure to the bag in case there's something delicate inside that won't bear too much jostling. There's nothing quite so fun as walking through a crowd with your Cattleyas on display! Makes you think that's what being famous is like, everyone's head turns towards you, people stop what they're saying and point and go 'Oooooh!' At least, I *hope* its the orchids they are pointing at, not the toilet paper stuck to my shoe..... *G* K Barrett |

I would have done the same thing. I've learned to leave my card home when I know temptation may get way out of hand. |

Boxes fit conveniently on your lap, yes? Screw that. Do what I do at Redlands and Chicago: just mail the suckers back to yourself and travel without the burden or worry! Then there's NO LIMIT!!!! hahahahhahahahahahah!!!!!!!!!! |
