You might be an orchid enthusiast

[jrodpad]

When it makes perfect sense to spend $20 in order to ship a $15 orchid...

When the orchid grower from the greenhouse openly refers to herself as your enabler...

When it seems perfectly natural to add an intricate system of growlights, fans and timers to the living room decor...

When you curse the gods and shake your fists at the universe for not having more south facing windows in your house...

When you find yourself checking your email primarily to see what OB subscribed threads have been updated...

yeah.

...when you call in to work and say you'll be a little late because i just spent an hour reading this ENTIRE thread!!! ...

...when (mentioned one of my posts earlier) you go to mcds and accidentally order "orchid mcnuggets" and the lady stares at you funny...

...when you call in sick to school because you have a package to recieve when its too hot outside, likewise when theres an auction youw ant to win on ebay ...

...when you order more than just ONE orchid just because you cant pass up a great deal on combined shipping ...

...when you buy orchids for gifts to people and tell them "give it back when the flowers die" ...

when you ask your friends for "early bday/xmas presents" when theyre with you at the store cuz you found something you really want, then when bday/xmas comes around, you pretend it never happened and ask for another gift...

when you need new shoes because you havent bought yourself any lately due to orchids, and when your mom buys you a pair you return them for cash to buy another orchid...

...when your "Wish List" is longer than the space you have available to put them all....oh well, kill off another grassy area and make the garden bigger!

....when I also hope the neighbors' wood fence falls down so I can offer to pay half to build a stucco wall for more mounting space

You are just a thoughtful person. You wouldn't want #1 orchid to be all alone in the shipping box. Carol

When you contemplate seriously finding new homes for your (almost) entire hoya collection, one of your epi. strictums, all your hybrid epis., your duplicate rhipsalis plants, the enormous decorative tree and scheffleras (sp?) so you will have room in the GH for all the orchids you managed to buy this summer. And, on top if this, are contemplating how to convince DH to build an entirely new, larger GH, this time to my specs.

....when your collection is worth half the equity in your home.

when you give iced tap water to your friends and give the clean water to the chids

when you lose an orchid, you have a long procession, dressed in black with the death march playing in the background and I'm just going to the trash can.
