I hate it when I miss my orchid blooms...

[smwboxer]

I hate running out of space...

hey good start....

It really erks me when I find scale on any plant in my greenhouse. We work so hard to keep the plants healthy and those bugs still find a way in more often than I would expect.

Oh, and the space thing too... lol!

Breaking off that new lead when trying to be so careful repotting.

I feel devastated when this happens! Also stupid people comparing the size of orchid flowers with some of their grown roses or hibiscus !!! Can you even imagine this !!!!

[catttan]

What irks me most is when the emerging flower buds of a hard to bloom orchid are destroyed by insects and you realise you have to wait another few years to see the blooms again!

[orchidlady]

Accidentally breaking off bloom spikes, especially when none of the buds has even had a chance to open . Oh yeah, the space thing also.

Sunburning some of my orchids because I stupidly forgot that the enormous live oak that normally provides shade all summer had its canopy thinned out a bit following Dallas's record snowfall earlier this year. It normally provides pretty good filtered sunlight, but this year I kept finding sunburns here and there (of course, sun was never in the wrong spot when I went out to look), and finally it hit me why.

D'oh!
