Eeeeuuggghhhh! You're right - you do have to get them back in on time, Angie! I look at the two without buds every day - in the hope of spotting one on its way - I do hope so! Do you remember the beautiful colours I had?

On blog - Awkward Orchids

 

I really am curled up laughing here - making loads of typos!!! LOL!

Poor dog! Lucky he hates mushrooms! :-))))))

On photo - Toadstools

 

'Orchidus x 'Sainsburianus'. Ian, to be TOTALLY corrent! LOL.

 

Oh dear , Sandra - where's Ajay?

Oooops, Lily! xx

 

LOL, LOL, LOL, That'll be the day!

I have added a reminder on the plant on my page for you. :-)) xx

 

Angie - I've grown them again this year, too. I've got a couple of photos to post tonight. A coral pink and a white one. Did you see the pale pink one a couple of days ago?

 

Hehe - I wouldn't dare tell you!

I just looked at the photo again - its common name is just right, isn't it! :-))

 

Yes, Lily - I take all those points you're making, and you know I wouldn't want GOY to be completely serious - it would be boooorrinngg!!!! lol.

He did say in his blog that.... "Our guidelines allow for a certain amount of non gardening blog posts from regular members"....

I am just asking what exactly that means! I am a confused person! :-(((((

 

I found an advert that says 'bulbs'....and another that says 'bare rooted plants'!! I shall ask Bulbaholic - he will most probably know!

 

I'm still hoping that Ajay will clarify the proportion of gardening and non- gardening blogs that will be allowed - because I'd like to know what happens if someone posts non- gardening blogs all the time? Will this get to a stage when number 'umpty-ump' is not allowed?

I really am not pointing a finger at anyone in particular in asking this. I just want to know!

Thank you Dee for the hug. I needed that! xx

 

????? How very odd! You'll have to post a photo of it, either on your page, or as a question, Pip. OR compare it with my two - maybe that would tell you?

On photo - Sarcococca confusa

 

Hi Vi! LOL.

 

Not a clue, I'm afraid, Holly. I have a book on grasses - maybe I could take a look in there for both answers!

On photo - Miscanthus sinensis

 

And me! :-)) I grew the 'Talent' ones this year - they were ALL different - and all beautiful, with paler stripes and pretty centres!

On photo - Gazania

 

Angie - it's because I do the 'shock' treatment to get an orchid to bloom again. Read the 'Awkward Orchids' blog I wrote - you'll see.

Angie A - not the greenhouse! Not with the weather changing very soon - you'd kill it! Eeeekkk!!!!

 

It's only how I'm feeling, Angie. And yes, I'm a bit upset, too, to be honest.

 

When you DO go and look, don't buy the expensive large pots the GCs try to sell you - if there's a choice, get a smaller plant. They soon grow on!

I saw exactly this 'trick' this year - a big pot for £12, and a smaller one, with a healthy plant, at £6. No contest! But people were going for the bigger ones.

On photo - Geranium 'Rozanne'

 

We all like to chat, Sandra - you know I do! lol. But how would you feel if the site had NO gardening blogs on it? That's what's worrying me about this. If all the members who joined as gardeners go - well, think about it!

 

Thanks, Angie - I do have flashes of genius occasionally! LOL. Yes, that really WAS a joke - I also have 'senior' moments when I forget all kinds of things! :-(((
