    I'm off to visit Andy's Orchids tomorrow. It's my birthday present to me!
    Wheeeeeeeeeeeeee.
    I've been before, and had a ton of fun, for not a ton of money!
    (Don't tell Andy, OK?)
    So tomorrow I start the trek south.
    Braving the nasty 5 freeway, and in an hour or two, arrive at, Mecca?
    Species heaven, shopping paradise?
    Gadzooks, will my wallet hold up?

    Stay tuned!

    Don't forget my motto: Why buy just one when you can buy two.

    Man, how nice would that be!? Happy birthday, Karen!
    Pick up a nice box of wine for yourself while you're out!

    I'm envious. Happy birthday. Just get one of everything, then you don't have to do any shopping.

    It's very hard to leave Andy's without a GIANT hole in the wallet.
    Good luck!
    I hope you're not driving up the 5 frwy this afternoon? Friday on the 5 north is just nasty!

    I'm guessing she did a swan dive into that box of wine and didn't go.

    I talked to Andy this morning and he said she was browsing in the greenhouses. I'll bet she waited to get home before going for the box.

    Happy Birthday Karen :) A specific book is good, sometimes is too good of plants because books give some infomations to grow well many plants!

    You did gooooood, Karen! I'd wish you a Happy Birthday, but I think you've already
    had one. Besides that, I'm jealous.
