    Default brought some orchid hitchhikers back from FL

    Recently I got back from a Key Largo vacation with my boyfriend, my cousin and her husband. On our way home we made room for some hitchhikers...

    My first time in orchid garden center. I coulda spent a lot more time there for sure but we had a looong drive ahead of us. And I can only imagine if we had more room

    A few more pics. I don't have individual pics of each. There is another I want to get a pic of and post, could use help in identifying it.

    I really needed more time there too many to decide from. We all picked out 3 plants except for my cousin's husband. He sat there chilling with the nursery cat reminding us we can't be there all day lol.

    You know,... you COULD have mailed your luggage back home. That would have given you more room for important stuff. Coulda sent you cousin's husbans home on a bus, make even more room for the really important stuff!

    What about that boat? You could have packed in more boxes in there

    LOL Cindi!
    The truck bed was packed. The inside was crammed with us and our stuff. The boat had room but if we put any orchids in there they wouldn't survive the ride back to PA Though I think I woulda given up a little more comfort to allow room for another orchid or two
