 That is oh so true!! That happens to me way too often. Orchid also modify your sense of money value. 10€ for an orchid seems like a pretty good deal, but spending the same amount on something non orchid related, like to eat out at lunch, seems to be way too much!!

....If your growroom lights make your home look like a big alien spaceship to anyone who happens to go past the place at night.
...and if you have been questioned by friends, neighbors and possibly even guys in uniform on the reasons for those said lights. 
Luckily I have only been questioned by the neighbors so far!

I know! I'm past the 70 mark... but about 25 of them are youngins. So they don't take up much space and are easy to water all at once.

This is me! My "grow room" is on the front corner of my house... which sits directly on the corner and has windows on both sides. But a local dispatcher is a friend, and we've had officers in our house several times to chat about the rising crime problems in our neighborhood. I'm more scared of the dopies breaking in to steal the lights.

If the windows of your house are all steamed up and you're to old for it to be the other reason they might be.

When you beat your precious kitty after he knocks 2 orchids in the floor.
When your friends say you need to go to meetings, because of how obsessed you are.
When you walk by a display of orchids at the store and whimper because you can't have any, because you made a VERY HASTY promise to your husband to not buy any more orchids for the WHOLE YEAR, just because you wanted that 'Baby Pink' dendrobium, even though you have 2 coming in the mail that week.
When you are thinking of ways to sneak orchids in the house and use your best friends address to have them delivered, because of the above mentioned promise.
