Kathy,
I always enjoy a little bit of good tempting. Mick |
There she goes! She's done it now!! If the orchid demons won't get her
the orchid gods sure will. Oh tempter of fate! K Barrett You've got that right, Kath! I'll bet Joanna doesn't know about the 100 certified kills that are required, either! LOL Diana |

Diana,
I've heard about the 100 certified kills. I have also heard that anyone who claims that they have not killed a single orchid must be lying. Since I know for a fact that the second statement is not true, I am questioning the validity of the first one. Sorry. Plus do I really want to be certified? I bet if I were certified, I would be required to repot all my orchids myself, too, right? So I am not so sure it's worth it. Yes, I know I am tempting fate, but hey, what would life be without some risk and daring and tempting. I know that even if I were to kill an orchid after all (which hopefully won't happen), it wouldn't kill me, which is the most important. And then there is the fact that while I really enjoy watching an orchid that was not doing too well get better, my favorite plants are generally the ones that are doing best, and just continue to flourish, and I have more of those than of the ailing ones, so life is good.

I don't know about the "certified" business, but it is a well-established
fact that you cannot be known as an expert until you've killed your weight in orchids. I think that's why many folks put on weight as they age... -- Ray Barkalow - First Rays Orchids - www.firstrays.com Plants, Supplies, Books, Artwork, and Lots of Free Info! ..

The question is Certified what?
I believe the only answer is a Certified Orchid-aholic. SuE We really are gluttons for punishment, aren't we? In this case, however, the pleasure far outstrips the pain! Diana |
