Congrats on your new addiction . .. uh, plant!

Yes, orchid growing absolutely IS habit forming. Mine grew from a gift of two orchids a couple of years ago, so I started saying "well if I'm doing the orchid thing for two plants I may as well . . . " Now 40-odd orchids later . .

Lucky you, to live near Carter & Holmes! But there are less expensive places to shop for orchids if you do get hooked. Keep an eye out at Lowe's, believe it or not. Some stores sell off their orchid plants after they finish blooming for less than half price. If you're patient and nurse them along to bloom again - like you're doing for this one we've been talking about - it's so satisfying.

But send your friends and family to C & H for gifts for you. (I keep a Wish List with my daughter)
