Off topic thread- for whenever you are bored

[Helene]

Yeah, I think we need a thread for bored. Waiting for mail with plants? And bored?
Waiting to buy plants? And bored?
Watching orchids grow? And bored?
Well, that last thing can take some time, they dont grow really fast…

Oh, and you dont even need to stay on topic- you can stray all over the place in this thread😎

Right now I just repotted a bulbo- just because I started thinking about it when reading here. So I did.
And I have been reading here and wishing it was more easy getting plants in my country. Then started thinking I should start a nursery- but then I realized I am just crazy. So I started looking for plants online- a vendor is coming here in september, so I have been drooling on their webpage several times. Cant wait to preorder a lot of orchids and supplies🎉😃

Kids are not home, hubby is sleeping, me-time is great.

Have repotted all my plants that needed, spring for the plants- indoor and it gets more sun. Outside it is still winter and snow. That means I cant start gardening outside yet.

Well, what are people doing? Watching tv? Working? Relaxing?

Funny thing is that I couldnt grow anything a couple years ago. Not inside and not outside. I just didnt find it interesting. Now it is my favorite hobby, and I love gardening.
Was planning on a gh this year, but decided to wait- and rather buy lots of plants in september. Mostly I wait because I dont want a normal gh, I want one I can use all year- and then I think I need to build one. Its cold here, so I need to plan how to fix all that. And I want it pretty big, and then it get expensive.

So this year I plan on buying more orchids. Lol- as I told my hubby- I need more plants, so I can say I need a gh to fit them all...
Meanwhile I am making parts of my living room a gh- and I shaded half the windows, so its perfect for the plants. My hubby is a patient guy, he knows I always have projects and hobbies. This one he kinda likes- he says the plants are fascinating.


When I get a gh, whenever that is, then I'm gonna get a bulbophyllum phalaenopsis. They are awesome😎 And smelly😜 So dont want one in my living room😂

I dont have any vanda orchids, but I must say they are really cute. Never seen a paphiopedilum in real life until last year- and must say those are interesting as well.
Lol, all orchids are interesting when you see them irl.

Man, this forum doesnt help with my addiction. And I dont even have that many orchids. Less than 30 (and some flasklings). Planning on buying 20 something in september (mostly young plants, I dont mind waiting).

The flowers are bonus for me. I like the plants and the roots. The plants are fascinating, and they are special- all in its own way. They are easy, but at the same time hard to understand- kinda like people. If you just treat them the way they like, and not the way you think they like its pretty much happy plants. Like people.
I like people. I find them fascinating.
For me its like analyzing- I see the signs plants send, and do pretty much the same with people. Lol- its easier doing that with a plant irl, and not in pictures here- and same goes for humans, easier irl than in writing.

There are many people in this forum I find really interesting, many different personalities here, but all have something to contribute with. We are different, and it seems like a forum where that is okay. I like that. Room for everyone.

I like to write (lol- who would have guessed that😆??), but mostly in my own language. In english its harder if I want to write about difficult/complex stuff, cause I dont always know the words.

Well, whenever you are bored, angry, happy, sad, something- and want to write something: welcome😂👍🏻

Annoying pets? Annoying kids? Annoying hubby? A dream for this year? A plant you love? Whatever you wanna say, its okay. Then I can entertain myself reading😎
