In a few years I will try to switch from "easy orchids" to the harder kinds. I promised I would not get any more, and today a shipment of 5 bare root oncidiums arrives. Ebay, you are a Fiend! and, I am weak, but at least it is not ice cream or pizza!
You did not get your orange mini from the hotel? (Luv it by the by) It does not seem like something they would buy.

Hey vivid life force human!
It's true, what people often do to all living beings simply boggles. Soooo painful to witness!
You are ready NOW!
Just be honest/objective in discerning/assessing the elements of your growing conditons is all.....indulge/celebrate the addiction!
The New Normal for this (Internal dialogue): you don't need more, have no room or time for more; you fall in love, you exhaust yrself trying to ignore....then, you stop being silly, bid, raise yr max bid if it's eBay (giving yr friend yr wallet to hold at a show does not work, I tried it)....and get it. THEM. It's All Good.
I am a big fan of bare root, by the way.
That mini I think may have violacea for a parent I am seeing for the first time re blooms, is pink....I just came in and took better pic, cause it is day. I do have two other minis, both art shades. Yes, all rescues. Hold on....I will upload, took one along side a standard pink for scale.
