Swimming in plants

[vickyth]

Hi, my name is Vicky and I'm and orchidoholic.

Or something close to one, at any rate. I've just come to the realisation that my orchid collection may be in danger of filling my windows to the point of blocking out the sun to all inhabitants of this here domicile. So far my marriage is intact. Luckily I married a man who thinks grow lights in the bedroom are romantic.
