Which orchid would you walk 2 hours for?

[The Orchid Boy]

I'd walk two hours for just about any species orchid that I knew I could grow. And I'm young and not lazy, I like exercise and 2 hours is nothing... oke:

I like walking - two hours isn't that far, really. I say a worthwhile effort for sure!

 

[Chicago Chad]

I would not walk 5 minutes in the rain for any orchid

specimen size Dend. dekockii???

In defense of walking

Put down the chip bag and put on the walking shoes (you remember them, don't you?)

I can't remember how many orchids I've walked/ridden the bike for 2 hours or more to see and photograph, sometimes all day. We have an excellent transportation system here in my area, but some places are just a bit of the beaten track, so I take my bike there (my "car"). There is Neofinetia nursery around 20 miles right across the deepest part of the city and I go there around 2 or 3 times a year just to see and sometimes buy plants. But in my mind that is actually fun.

sure, you can use priority mail. I can walk to my mail box if it is not raining.:evil:

Glad you walked. You'll have that special memory always.

I would walk or ride that any free moment. Especially for a good price micranthum album. :wink:

These slippers were made for walking... (with apologies to Nancy or Jessica, depending on your age).

I see what you mean. I think all of your new anitum crosses should make some sufficient replacements. Have you picked up Wossner Black Wings/J.B. yet?

Wow, what a great sales pitch!
a. "Hey, do you have plant X yet?"
b. "No, I don't know who has it for sale."
a. "Well, I just happen to have one with your name on it here..."
