Contest rules state I have to start an orchid related thread...

There once was an orchid named, Joey. He was a melancholy fellow, because he pined for company. There he sat...all alone on the windowsill. You can tell this isn't autobiographical! Wondering if he'd ever get to meet a girl... Joey, you're packing all the equipment you need, dude! And then, one day it happened!

Ok - someone else can continue the story.
