Hi naoto yes I saw you, just got back from the show myself, great day.

Oops! 

I enjoyed doing shopping there yesterday......I boutht Golan Heights (4 quid from G.I nursery) and Hacquetia epipactis Thor (3 quid), 4 bulbs of pleione Volcanella (4 quid) and this.....young pseudibericum - as the label suggests, this one, somehow, smells differently - very strong yet very sweet. I usually don't fancy the smell of pseudibericum (too "powdery" for me!), but this one smells really nice (and wallet friendly - 1.50 quid)

You got some good bargains there naoto, i hope you do ok with the pleiones, they are great little orchids

 Your avatar pic?  Yes, sure- but I'm heartbroken you don't walk about like that!

[johnstephen29]

Yeah I'd get some strange looks if I did. Thanks for that your a star, the wife & kids can't take the mick now

[Maggi Young]

You're very welcome. Odd how some pix just turn sideways at times - it can be  the devil to change some of them the right way up - we've had  folks tearing their hair out to swap 'em.

I have to say you do look better now!

[johnstephen29]

Yeah I do, I tried it a few times, but it always appeared sideways.

I went to Wisley for the Cyclamen and carnivorous plants . Going to join the cyclamen society as new boss has a collection I will be caring for soon . A great day , lovely weather . And as some one commented I need to make a cyclamen hat lol 

[johnstephen29]

Hi Emma I heard your boss is Michael Tarzan heseltine is that right?

[Alan_b]

He with the battle cry of "Yodel-odel-iron-o-lady-o", according to Steve Bell.  Perhaps best not to mention that? 

[johnstephen29]

Yeah that's him

[Maggi Young]

I suppose we must hope that Emma's new employer can tell the difference between Emma's opinions and comments and those of other people over whom she has no influence.

Great idea to join the Cyclamen Society, Emma - we let our sub. lapse, I admit, when we were on a cost-cutting exercise, but it's worth joining. 

[emma T]

Mmm I hope so too Maggi !
