You've got that right, Kath! I'll bet Joanna doesn't know about the 100
certified kills that are required, either! LOL

Is it only a 100? I should be the Red Baron by now, considering all the
kills I've racked up.

Rob's Rules: http://www.msu.edu/~halgren
1) There is always room for one more orchid
2) There is always room for two more orchids
2a. See rule 1
3) When one has insufficient credit to purchase
more orchids, obtain more credit

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...

Ok, I will admit to 30 years of growing. And a freeze that took
out several hundred in one night, but I think I was probably
'certified' well before that. The question is Certified what?
I believe the only answer is a Certified Orchid-aholic.

We really are gluttons for punishment, aren't we? In this case, however,
the pleasure far outstrips the pain!
