When you would rather pay for someone to water your orchids than clean your house.

When your amazing husband offers to take you to orchid shops "Because it's fun to see you so excited."


When you start focusing your career just so you can afford a greenhouse when you retire.
When you find mold growing in the house.

These are for the under-lights growers:
When lightbulbs are a line item in your budget.
When you've considered buying a generator just to power your lights during an outage.
When your house is 75 degrees all year without running the furnace - no matter how cold it gets outside.
You worry about your house burning down on a regular basis.
When you don't need any other lighting in your house during the day, even in the basement.
When your electric bill is so high the police come knocking.
When you have to bring used CF lighbulbs for recycling at several different places because you've reached your limit everywhere.

When you are at your mother-in-law's for the Saturday of Mother's day weekend and your husband says, "Do you want to go to IKEA on the way home and buy that Detolf cabinet to put in the dining room window for your plants? It can be your Mother's Day gift".........



FYI IKEA | Dining storage | Display cabinets | DETOLF | Glass-door cabinet

....when your dining room is full of orchids instead of being a nice room to have the holidays in, because it has good exposure and there is room for lights in there. Someday, my greenhouse will come.....

...when you have your ebay orchids delivered to a relative's house so you can sneak them home gradually, so your Other Half doesn't notice and complain "not another one!?"

When you've told your husband at least 8 times this month that this order was your last and that you were getting no more orchids this year!
