Tell me I'm not insane....
 
Did I read correctly-SBOE is going to ship your plant on the 25th-a Friday? Where will your precious plant sit all weekend on its odyssey from Cal to Fla? I hope it gets there OK. And, yes, you are absolutely, completely, totally insane. Welcome to the club. :waving ;)

You are about as insane as the rest of us!! I have added 17+ new chids in the last 2 1/2 weeks. A friend was downsizing and boy did I have fun there and then a trip to Smileys to finish it.

Lovely choice and beautiful color.

Thanks Lorraine. I know!!! 3 years ago I would have thought it insane to spend $$$ on a plant. Well, they aren't "just" plants, no?


SBOE shipped it last night. :)

Giggle.

So, I called them today and there's something wrong with the sawyeri and it's currently not for sale. So, I ordered some purpuratas!!!!

Lookie lookie here!!

Laelia purpurata 'San Bar Venosa' at Santa Barbara Orchid Estate

My orchid thirst has been quenched (for right now anyway) :)

hi there! It should arrive tomorrow, but it's not in bloom.....just a plain ole Laelia.

I'll take pics if you all want to see some greenery though. :)

Hey guys!
