... When you say no to a vacation due to separation anxiety and anytime you are in a garden center or nursery people start asking you questions because they assume you work there ... Waiting until your spouse falls asleep so you can bring the new plants in and when asked you say I got that a long time ago ... and then your device says you have no more room for pics and all of your pics are of some of your plants ...and watering your plants with bottled spring water ... I'm so happy to see that I am not alone in my 'craziness'

@Wildbloomers Love the mug!! And glad to see you fit into this thread of plant nuts as well!!

And yes she was the best for it and she I dont think could have ever lived with me getting rid of any of my plants and shes been getting into it now a lot more and wants to start her own bonsai this year!! She may one day become a plant but like me, well maybe not our level haaha, thats hard to do!!

Bev, I was standing right where you took that pic 11 months ago! My family was pretty much reluctantly dragged to the Denver Bot garden, but I was so proud of daughter, son, and husband, who managed to enjoy it, mostly for my sake, even though it was 93° and as humid as if we were still in AL. I'd have stayed all day but it was 3 hungry folks against 1 plant nerd, so we went to get some burritos.

@purpleinopp mmm burritos!

IKR! A lot of good plant material in a burrito.

When the realistic prospect of rain on Friday night is the best news of the week. Weekend should be free to do other things than drag a hose around.

Being immensely disappointed when I can't buy plants from Conservatories or Botanical gardens in California because my visa hasn't been processed yet, and I can't bring them over the border back to Canada.

I'd have my fiance care for some for me for the future, but he's not really a plant guy.
Though he's doing a good job caring for his little Draceana so far. He expressed wanting a second plant recently, so I might still have a chance to get him addicted as well.

Left Atlanta, GA and drove to Richmond, VA hoping to get a couple of hours in at the Lewis Ginter botanical but road construction and backups made the trip longer than expected so didn't get there in time to visit. Oh, well I guess that will be another trip. Spent the night in Richmond and on to Longwood Gardens in Pennsylvania. Got there just in time for the 2:00 pm entry. Yes, the place is so popular that you have to buy timed entry tickets. An amazing place. Will revisit on another trip. Again, a few teaser pics.

Longwoods is great, got to do some work there when I was an apprentice and also when I was a student! Winter Holiday time is really nice with all the lights they put up!

LUMPY DEUTEROCOHNIA MOMENT!!!

@Wildbloomers I want to live there at Longwoods. I've never been there but your pics of it are so beautiful. So beautiful!
