Tadd
You keep talking about your Farries and I just felt I should have some to know what you are talking about. I called Parkside and ordered a couple.

I have treatened to sell my bed in order to grow orchids in my bedroom. Unfortunately that day is coming sooner that you think. My problem is I love to sleep so which goes......my bed or my plants?

Grandma

Definitely, keep the plants! :twisted:

Shoot
I heard that Texan orchid fanatics just sleep in their cars (pickups).

Steve T. can you verify?

I lived in a tent for the best part of a year once - it's not that bad (until it rains :twisted: )

An airbed, a cooktop and the necessary - what more do you need? Hmmmm food - ahh my coffee's almost perked.

Cheers
Stephan

plants for shure

Hang 'em above your bed. Watering might be a little messy, but you gotta have orchids! 8)

Definitely the plants!!!

You can blame it on Tadd! :poke:

You can often find a texan sleeping in their truck (yes, we all have trucks, it is state law) even if they don't have an orchid collection. However, I have discovered that it works best to rent apartments for my orchids. Right now, I have a 250 square foot N-NE facing balcony on the third floor with an excellent view of the pool. I park my car there and grow the orchids inside the rest of the 1000sqft. apartment.

:lol: :lol: Thanks, Steve for the Funny.

Now I know why "All my Ex-es Live in Texas." Actually, I enjoyed my stay in the DFW area about 10 years ago. Hot as Hell for a New Englander, but the people were great and it was a dry heat. Pretty countryside when you get out of the city.

LOL! Steve - funny! Sometimes I worry about your abundance of humor! It is a little over the top... :wink:

Hee Heee, Heather!

Beat Ya!!! :poke:

Welcome to the elite crew Grandma! Very few of us are allowed in this little fairrie club....:poke: lose the bed, sleep on the floor! Build shelves! Can't wait for your report on their orchids. I have been tempted to order a few more, but alas no money or credit....

Hee Heee, Heather!

Beat Ya!!! :poke:

Oh, veeery funny, susan! Just wait till you sleep over! :evil:
Now where are those bed bugs I've been keeping?

EEEK!!! Heather, Not Mealies in my bed. They give me nightmares!!!!! Honestly they do, and I'm also having dreams about this forum and Paphs & Phrags. I have it really bad. I owe it all to you, girlfriend.:poke:

Grandma, I recommend LL Bean for sleeping bags if you run out of room! :D And will get one for myself if I stay with Heather. :poke:

Seriously though Grandma, Congratulations on your purchase. Please post photos when your plants arrive!!! I have a few fairrieanums and their hybrids, but have not had one bloom yet. When I get one to bloom, I will be sure to post a photo for Tadd. I think they are a fascinating species. They are hard to find. Enjoy!!!!!

Too much Oncidium ceboletta?

Too much Oncidium ceboletta?

Exactly!!!!

Now aren't you glad I set that up for you Steve? :-dance:

Are you sure Steve is joking???? there is always a little truth in a joke!

Your right PB if seen my share of Texans sleeping in their vehicles at various out of state functions.
