I think doing all of this horticulture stuff is like a career in itself that does not pay. I only have a few free days this whole month where I am not going to some flower show or some flower society meeting. I also have all these volunteer projects that I am involved with in Atlanta. To top it off, I am around a bunch of old women ALL the time. I think I must be the youngest garden club member to date. The next youngest woman is in her mid sixties. Try being an atheist amongst a bunch of women who have never questioned the existence of God in their lives. They all go to ________ First Baptist Church. The kicker is the fact that everyone I come in contact with knows me through my grandmother. I also have this expectation to live up to because of the legacy that she created. She was the flower show queen. She is a master gardener, a Rosarian, she has won thousands of ribbons and trophies for the last 50 years. She was a world renowned judge of flower shows. She cannot grow an orchid to save her life though. I am starting to become known for my orchid growing. I think by branching out into Orchids I will separate myself from her legacy. I will be displaying my first orchid for the upcoming flower show this month. I will take pictures and post them.
