My last day at work today! I am moving to the other side of the country! And guess what I bought to my colleges? Beautiful multiflower Paphs with curling petals :D I thought they were so neat, but I was a good girl, didn't buy one to myself :?
My colleges might think I am a bit weird with my orchid interest - like " beiing member of a orchid society (!)" :lol: But they really liked my gift though.

:D Milda :D

How generous! Maybe your gifts will help spread the addiction we all share! :Party:

When you're settled into your new home, let us know how things are growing! Good luck with the move.

Wow something to remember you by! Not many of my co-workers or students for that part understand my interest in these beauties! Very nice going away present, isn't supposed to be the other way? Congrats on the move hope it is speedy and stress free. I might be moving soon also :clap:

I'd love to be one of your colleges! what a great gift.
I know this is the minority opinion, but aren't you afraid they will eventualy kill them? I wouldn't give my best friends plants I don't think they are capble of taking care of. I wouldn't want a dead paph on my hands (I'm talking from personal experiance ofcoarse).
good luck in your move!

Me too, me three :-)

As for somebody killing them - I'm gonna hate myself for this but I'm feeling a little anarchistic today.

1. Support your local economy/business!!! - I know I do
2. I have no idea how many plants I've killed in my "lust" to learn more

I think the gift was very thoughtful and hopefully a seed has been planted. Good luck with your move - you're just a hop, skip and jump away from Oz.

Hi there :D

I have been working at this school for 6 years, and have been on the same team all the time. So only the two teachers at the same team as me got the Paphs, and they were cheap, about $15.
I got presents as well, nice presents :-dance:

Thanks for your wishes, I sure need it! It's like caos at home, and I'm afraid some of my orchids will not make the "moving prosess"...

:) Milda :)
