Craziest orchid related thing you've ever done?
 
1 Attachment(s)
Ok how far would you go, or have you gone in your love of orchids?

I'll go first :evil:

I had my Masdevallias growing in my Jebo fishtank and over summer we had some days that were very hot- over 40 degrees celcius.....

so I put some ice in the tank to cool them down! :shock:

Want proof? You can't handle the proof? :lol: Ok check out the photo.

I have to admit that I went on a small vacation a few months back with my mounts in tow...next months vacation will be a different story...gonna work on a quick fix to keep them happy for 7 days without me. The woes of indoor growing.

lol. Ok yep that is a little crazy :) We're just talking 1-3 small mounts here right? Not some big specimen dendrobium?

What did people at the time think that knew you were doing that?

Ohhh I got a good one!

I was coming home from a orchid show in my area and I had spent much more money then I had intended. I knew my DH would be PISSED :blushing:
In order to escape that "OMG, are you crazy" conversation for a few days I hooked several of the plants I had bought to the inside of my panty hose under my skirt. I kid you not...it was the absolute weirdest orchid thing I have ever done..but hey, it worked! :biggrin: He did not notice a damn thing! Well at least not till a few days later lol. :banana: :banana:

That was soo funny I had to share that with my family!!!! :biggrin::lol::lol::lol:
Im afraid the craziest thing I've ever done for my orchids is go to work on a day off or during my vacation week (like tomorrow!!!!) just to water/take care of them.

That's a true orchid dad taking care of his babies :nod: Nothing better than yourself taking care of them...:banana:

Hehe Cheryl. Yea, everyone at work says Im too good. Well, I do it for the frogs too. But I'de rather not have my coworker take care of them unless Im going to Hawaii or something.

justatypn 04-04-2007 12:25 AM

Frogs...ok you know me with Frogs...but am sure they love you and recognize you, just keep your planned trips a secret...they would look cute laying in the sun like the Gieko...
