What a moron!!! (Orchid)

Two years I've waited for this to rebloom! And then I go and snap it whilst trying to straighten up the flower spike!!
I really can't believe my own stupidity....

Still feel pretty stoopid!!! A two year wait!
There are signs of a new spike at one of the nodes though....

Well, at least you didn't almost kill the whole plant!!!

That was an easy mistake to make Alex....

See, that's a typical 'perfectionist response' Meanie. Someone else's mistake is 'easy to make' and yours was 'moronic'! lol....come on, give yourself a break! :))

lol - sorry :)

ouch! I've made similar mistakes, you're not the only one!

Meanie:

Wow! 2 years to re-bloom...you are very patient.

Sorry, to hear about your flower spike being snapped! They do make long-lasting flowers in water, though.

There you go Meanie, all your efforts are not lost.....Long-lasting cut flowers.

Glad that it's not just me Lauram.
Karen - I really should have known better! Alexandra won't repeat her mistake....
I'm not usually patient Delonix, but sometimes it's worth the wait.
It went straight in the bin after the photos Alex!

I planted the flypoisons just the other day and ten minutes later, tripped on a bag of topsoil and squished one! It appears to be fine, tho.

NOOOOOO. you didn't Meanie. I would have made the very best of it...even smile and tell everyone...."look at my what my orchid gave me" I can't believe you binned them.

You are 100% right....I will NEVER make that mistake again.

That was really funny Lauram. ;o)

Meanie:

Such a shame! Orchid flowers can last a long time in water, if put in a cool place.

You tell him Delonix.

Alexandramou:

I don't think Meanie will be throwing any orchids flowers in the trash in the future. LOL! :>)

18 Mar, 2011

 

If I'm ever stupid enough to repeat this mistake it'll go straight in the bin again!!!!

18 Mar, 2011

 

If you do make the same mistake again....send me the flowers don't bin them!

18 Mar, 2011

 

LOL!!!
