I didn't even know that was a thing either! Definitely going to be some experimentation going on in the edible orchid department! Hmm...I have watched a lot of British tv though, and those orchids seem to bring out the dark side in some folks, but I'm going to go for it anyway! They are lovely to look at and worst case scenario I'll have some interesting tales to tell, lol!

And I so agree about the long winter helping in the insect out-of-balance department. I know I'll later appreciate the frozen intervention in the aphid, grasshopper, locust, tick, and yellow jacket populations for us all.
