this is my first post

Sc. Seagulls Beaulu Queen

Instead of being at work where I should be, I'm here creating my first blog entry... ever. For someone in the technology field, I'm way behind on these "new fangled things" like MySpace, and iPods (yes, I know they're not new). For my first orchid of the day (idea stolen from a commercial orchid nursery, oh god, I hope they don't sue me), I present an oldie but one of my favorites. I purchased a compact cattleya from a hobby grower out in Florida. I had no idea what the flower would look like, I just knew that it was yellow (my favorite color... for flowers). Sc Seagulls Beaulu Queen. That's a mouthful. It's kind of like those dog show names "Academy Awards Celebratory Afterthought" or "Greek Island Summer Sojourn." Orchid growers are a bit kooky like Dog Show people. However, we aren't cool enough to have a movie made for us (See "Best in Show"). Okay, I have to go to see if Netflix has sent my last dvd of Arrested Development (yes, I also just found out about this show... maybe someday I'll start watching Lost).
