I do hope so - I plant both her terracotta pots with her in mind.

 

You're welcome, Ian! Good luck with it - they're so lovely...addictive, too.....sorry!

It's good in shade, Sbg!!!!!! One for you??

 

Haha. I keep too busy to be called that, Sbg! But - yes - when I was at school, I couldn't have done all this. No chance.

Thanks....we can't all like the same scents, can we? My daughter hates the smell of Lilies. I hate scented Pelargoniums!

Ooops! I forgot this afternoon.

 

They are indeed! Is yours similar? I know it's a prostrate one.

 

Hmmm....I suppose I grow mine about 6" apart in the soil, but I haven't tried any in a pot....possibly closer together....are they going to trail or climb?

On question - Sweetpeas & potting on

 

Thanks, Sbg!

 

It was the right choice, wasn't it! :-))

 

Thanks - I think they're worth it!

Yes - they all flower for ages. I have a white Phalaenopsis which has been in flower without a break for more than 2 years! All that for about £8. :-))

I'd love to grow other species of Orchids, but their growing conditions are so different!

That's a great photo - I didn't manage to get a photo of the whole plant - only some of the flowers!

 

I've lost mine, sadly. I still have a different species of Tricyrtis, though without any spots!

That's the right word for it, Dawn!

 

Lovely....:-))

 

Nice - I like it, Andrew. :-)) The name suits it, too!

 

I shall go and take a look! Thanks, Andrew.

 

Yes - definitely. :-)

Yes - but it has been mild here. Maybe that's why it decided to appear!
