I did it again..........

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!

Hello...

Speaking of addiction....

Last weekend, that was our annual orchid show here in Montreal. I HAD to buy:

Dendrobium kingianum Phal luddemanniana Phal equestris var alba ( spiking ) Phal cornu-cervi var alba ( also spiking ) Phal cochlearis Phal Super Stupid X Golden Sun ( 3 for $5.00 ) A voodoo lilly

I`m sooooo addicted.......

i'm going to the GNYOS show next month; i'm taking the train because a) it's convenient and, b) it will (hopefully) preclude me from buying anything that i can't stick in a shirt pocket to bring home. :)

No need to limit yourself to a shirt pocket..... 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*
