When someone mentions a specific orchid and you go "oh, I have that one!".... "wait a minute, I know I wanted it, but did I buy it?" And you have to go check your collection to find out because you've got so many you can't seem to keep them all straight.

This is the funniest thing I've read in a while. Even as a newbie I found myself nodding to several posts. Let's add a few more.

You might be an orchid enthusiast/nut/head case if...

...all of your internet bookmarks/favorites are orchid growers.

...your best friend threatens to take your computer because of all the sites bookmarked.

...you visit your parents more often because you learned of several orchid growers that popped up in the area.

...your allergist recommends that you get a humidifier to use while you sleep. You sleep with the humidifier in the living room so that you and the orchids benefit.

... your cat's toys are pieces of bark that have fallen from the orchid pots. Who needs a catnip mouse?

When new trips to Lowe's are no longer about restoring an old house, but allllll about what new orchids they have.

When you look at a glass lamp shade and think "I can turn it upside down and place it in a stand, and it would be a great orchid pot!"

When you buy pots that aren't 'just right' for ventilation and go through allllll the tools available to 'fix them'.

PS. Hubby just bought a half inch diamond tip drill bit FOR ME - so's we can FIX those pots. . .that need to fix themselves. **evil laugh**

Surely the pot has to want to fix itself!!!

I found that a soldering iron is a quick (if slightly whiffy) way of making holes in plastic pots or enlarging the existing ones.

Good tip, I like that one. Not sure if hubby would apreciate melted plastic stuck on his soldering iron... but he never uses it, he'll never notice

If you look at your house trying to find an east facing window and:

Tell your husband you MUST change offices with him - since he has the better windows.

You tell your husband you MUST (since we can't change rooms . . .since I figured out he doesn't actually HAVE an East facing window - but West and South facing windows) KNOCK A HOLE in my office (this is a foot and a half thick brick wall) in order to PUT an EAST facing window SOMEWHERE in the house.

Your said husband looks at you with a very calm face and tells you are 'orchid insane'. . . again.

..... when you get home from work and your wife tells you that you got a package today and says "it's another orchid isn't it"

If all of your computer passwards are orchid related your might be an orchid nut.
