Message: <blockquote data-quote="Michelle Stevens" data-source="post: 343440" data-attributes="member: 11">Pfft, just imagine how itchy that poor orchid must have felt. They were feeding off of her. I had to take action. When it comes to the well being of my orchids, Michelle chooses violence. It is indeed a good sign and they are improving and out of a critical state, thankfully.I can only imagine how hopeless it was for them. I only wish I could have done more. I just so enjoying rescuing these orchids. I have to stay away from that store for some time. I will certainly consider it. I have so many stories and know the plight of the unwanted orchids.Well she made up for it over the past week. Over the past two times in the grocery store she has given me seven unsellable orchids. The summer lot she had is getting tired and dropping blooms. Oh 'Lashes if you only lived closer you'd have more orchids in you home, gift from me. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />Yes, I know people want the best and I can save the most unfortunate. Someone has to love them. Lucky from them it's a hottie, me. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite13" alt=":hide:" title="Hide    :hide:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":hide:" />Wow, #3? Very good news! Oh, Orkie will be so jealous with having another of her colour in the house. Have fun with that. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite7" alt=":p" title="Stick Out Tongue    :p" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":p" /> Orchids make great gift, at least if you're giving it to someone who makes the effort to care for them. How very kind of your friend. I'm eager to see images of this new orchid. <img src="http://yoursmiles.org/msmile/fun/m0157.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":dance:" title="Dance    :dance:" data-shortname=":dance:" />Maybe you could ask Mr. L to add an addition to you conservatory for an orchid collection. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" />It does take time, a few hours in fact. I let them soak for about a half hour and I do about ten at a time,  each Tuesday and the other half on Friday morning. I do inspect them for illness or other action. With the cooler weather about a half dozen have started flower spikes for the season. I'm excited. <img src="http://yoursmiles.org/msmile/fun/m0157.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":dance:" title="Dance    :dance:" data-shortname=":dance:" />I had fish as a child, then built a fish pond as a teenager and in the early-2000's I had an aquarium. Maybe I'll have one again. I just hated cleaning their tank. Out of all animal life I've probably had more fish then anything. Have you ever had an aquarium 'Lashes?</blockquote>
