Orchid Grower Hats

Orchid people have a name for the habit: "The Addiction." Collectors quoted by Minnesota Public Radio say you can't have just one. The Minnesota Orchid Society once filled a Greyhound bus on a greenhouse tour near Chicago and came home with 1,081 plants. The American Orchid Society is affiliated with about 600 orchid societies worldwide, and show-and-sale weekends turn up in nearly every metro. The grocery store phalaenopsis is where many start. It has been described as basically set up to die in 30 days in careless hands, yet with patience it can rebloom, the victory these hats brag about. These orchid grower hats follow that arc. The badges are ORCHID GROWER, ORCHID LADY and ORCHID DAD. The sentence designs carry the pride of a grocery store orchid that bloomed again, the trip to the orchid show for one plant that ended with nine, more orchids than windows, and a plant that outlived the last three relationships. I CAN SPELL PHALAENOPSIS is the quiet flex of the vocabulary. The grocery store rebloom line and the orchid show line each get a second colorway. This is the orchid page, not the general houseplant one: Plant Parent Hats covers plants broadly. Every design is custom embroidered on an unstructured dad hat. Choose one for yourself, or for the member of your orchid society who already needs another windowsill.
