Attended the NCOS today and had a pleasure meeting Linus_Cello at the registered with my 2 new micranthums from NCOS member table.

 

[iwillard]

I,too,had the pleasure of meeting Linus_cello and bought too many.

As one lady reminded me as we reached for the same plant "who says money can't buy happiness? I'm buying my happiness right now",I had to let the lady be happy by letting go of that orchid as we were tugging on the container.
