The Goggle Squad Orchid
« on: December 08, 2007, 03:15:33 pm »
Waffles and the crew gave me this orchid at the 2007 Spring Uwajimaya Festival. This is the first time I've ever succeeded in getting an orchid to re-bloom.

Thanks, guys!

It looks great! My parents are always buying orchids but they never take care of them due to work, so hardly any of them re-blooms ^^;

I'm glad it survived the move...  Or do you keep it at work?

That's beautiful. I wish my allergies would let me have one.

I keep it at work, but I had it on my balcony over the summer. The trick was to "shock" the orchid. I got lucky, because I moved it indoors and didn't water it for a week at just the right time.

Also, this type of orchid blooms on old wood. Don't ever cut off the flower stem!

I don't know if that's really your orchid. That picture looks a little too professional. You should pose with it.

He's right. I can see the pixels.
Pose with it and prove that it is yours.

Ha ha.  :P

If I can convince the marketing guy to come back to my cube again, we'll see. He's the one who added the frame effect.

Wow- so pretty! I once did a report on orchids and some have really specific needs. I'm glad it came back.

I, on the other hand, do not have a green thumb. I've tried twice to grow my own bonsai tree... and failed :(. Then I went out and bought a pre-grown bonsai tree... and that died too >_<. I should just never touch plants.

Lol- maybe. Though I somehow have a feeling it might have the opposite effect...
