Heaven must be like that but without scale. Angels water and fertilize too.

Love your gloves avatar. Now THAT makes me want to go to heaven!

This is a bit off the subject but I've been in touch with this great researcher who also grows orchids and thought you might enjoy what he's working on.

He also sent me this great video about orchid ice cream. http://www.sciencefriday.com/v...
And a write up I've seen before: http://www.salon.com/wlust/fea...

The podcast was really interesting. Wasn't able to watch the video.
