I am totally playing Scarlett O'Hara on this whole Irma thing...I'll just think about it tomorrow!
In the meantime, my Stan blooms petered out, so that plant didn't make it to the Orchid Society meeting tonight (for our annual Labor Day pot-luck), so I was sad at only missing it by 2 days! There's another inflo but that one will probably miss next months meeting by a week or more. So I was not very excited about this meeting, but made a huge batch of panzanella salad and went anyway. I figured it would be mobbed (since members usually come out of the woodwork when there's food involved) but it was pretty slow and surprised me. I hardly ever buy raffle tickets (cause I think they are a little high priced) but I went ahead and splurged on $10 worth of tickets, mostly cause the plants being raffled all came from Jim Roberts at Florida Suncoast...and won 4 times!!!! I still can't believe it! 2 are in bloom and are just gorgeous! I'll take some pictures in the morning and post 'em...just had to share my news since I was so excited. At about 5 peoples suggestion, I even stopped on the way home and bought a couple of lottery tickets!
