Supremely Happy

[boxerfan]

As if the knowledge that I own 14 orchids since I got my first one in March of this year wasn't enough to confirm that I'm hooked, I am now waiting and watching anxiously every day for my Brassia to bloom and I'm equally anxious for my friend's to bloom (we got them on the same day). The weather is nice here now, 63* lows at night and 88* high during the day. The humidity starts at about 80%, then slides to 45%-50%. The days are bright and sunny, but shaded on my front porch and there is generally a light breeze. This is not typical for July in South Carolina, but all of the 'chids are on the front porch soaking it up. I have 3 phals still blooming, one paph blooming, my wildcat rainbow is in bloom and I am waiting on the Brassia. Everybody else is doing lots of growing. Leaves Galore, roots, new growths and pseudobulbs. Even my little phal that had root rot and is in sphag and bag has grown a new leaf! And I know I'm hooked because all of this makes me supremely happy. I hope all of my other orchid pals are supremely happy too. Lisa

Lisa,
I am extremely happy for you!! You now know the joy of orchid growing and
I'm sure with your nuturing and care for your "Kids" you will be greatly
rewarded.

WooHoo boxer!! Kudos to you for all your blooming and growing kids! Isn't it one of the best feelings!?!

I think the plants have decided to reward you for the efforts. I am very happy for you.

I wish you for more successes in blooms.

SUPREMELY HAPPY FOR YOU LISA.

I'm quite happy right now as well. All my oncidium, miltonia and alliances are spiking like mad here too! I bought my first orchid in February and I'm up to 30 something now Yes, it's contagious and so is happiness! Enjoy!!!!

I'm sharing your joy! I'm totally hooked too, and just started a few weeks ago. I love watching my plants grow; revelling in a new root growth or bud opening. It's all full of wonder! Plus every new breed of orchid indulges my love of research!
