I think some of those bottles make rather stylish containers, don't you?

...if you're a teenager who would rather buy orchids than video games.


I'd much rather own a gorgeous or unusual orchid than the latest game consol. I don't even know which one that is! Is it still the Wii, or did something else come out?

- If your friends frequently refer to your basement as "the flourescent jungle."

- If you have gone into debt to one of your friends in order to purchase a new 'chid

- when that little voice in the back of your head stops saying "not again" and instead says "Just... one... more..."

- when you are occasionally forced to sleep in your living room because the B. Nodosa in your bedroom smells too strongly (after all, you can't move the plant out, what if you sleep through sunrise? it would miss all that wonderful morning sun!)

- when you have pet frogs as a justification for all your terrariums.

and finally,
- when your parents take on your hobby because they've become so impressed by your 'chids.

When the people in the nurseries recognize you and ask, "why haven't you visited us lately?"

or

when the same people remember your past purchases and ask, "did you run out of clay pots yet?"


or


"how are those seedlings coming along?"


or tell you,

"let me show you this. I know YOU'LL like it" and they are right.




When your colleagues bring other colleagues that you've never met to your office with their sick, overwatered plants and say, "see, I told you she knows what she's talking about."

when you have a

"Please DO NOT TOUCH THE ORCHIDS" sign in your office, because you are tired of the same colleagues touching your blooms.

...or you take some blooming orchids somewhere and have trouble talking people into taking them home. You wonder "What is wrong with these people?" Carol
