Confessions from California
I have forced my SO to watch orchid youtube videos despite protests of "I don't understand what they are talking about".
I sent my mom to a show I couldn't attend with a list where she was accosted by the local society and according to her, "they talked my ear off".
I have violated self imposed no-buy times so often no one believes me anymore.
Children I have regular contact with know what an "epiphyte" is.
I retell orchid facts to friends and family when it is likely they didn't understand me the first time and have likely forgotten.
I have contacted my SO at work to bid on an orchid whose auction is ending soon.
I make people smell my orchids.
Nice to meet you all and tell me your confessions!

Hi Josi, and welcome to the Orchid Board.
Your post reads almost like a "Dear Prudence" letter, and made me laugh. My own children were raised with my orchids. Everything you're doing is perfectly normal. Spouses, parents, children, and the like must all adapt to our madness to survive.

So far the people have been tolerant/supportive but my dog has gotten jealous and tried to hide my cymbidiums :/

Hello, Josi, and welcome! So far, my only confession is that I seriously regret not getting into orchids a looooong time ago!

People with both dogs and orchids are the finest. My dogs don't get jealous of mine, however. Unfortunately, the mice in my house do - they eat them. |
