Somehow that hurt just a tad, but I have so many spiked and about to open that it is so exciting. Perhaps I could borrow a few from you in the meantime?????  kiki-do |
okay, some people are soo annoying! Most people who don't understand/grow orchids have the misconception that they are hard to grow and flower rarely, yet at the same time, they expect us growers to have them blooming all the time!!! ughhh
Oh, and they MAY be a tad jealous...since you can grow them (and from what I saw in your gallery, you have nice orchids and a nice set-up) and plus... 75 orchids is QUITE the collection I only have 25, and people think I have a lot!!! However, one person came to my house (she has a phal I gave her as a gift, and therefore to her, all orchids are phals.. tisk tisk) anyways, I had this gorgeous odonticidium blooming, which filled the room with a heavenly scent. What does she say?.... "whats that yellow one, its strage, isn't it?
"
anyways, I was insulted! It was so nice... and its an odontocidium... with large yellow flowers, and she looked at it like it was a weed!!
Sorry I had to vent
