I saw a gorgeous blue one in TESCOS last week and it cost 20 pounds (which is approx. 27 dollars). So your Orchid family is now up to 16!... you cant stop now Michelle, we need a nice round number, like 20 :laughing:That Linda Ronstadt song was a sure sign! <img src="http://yoursmiles.org/ksmile/babe/k0512.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":gotcha:" title="Gotcha    :gotcha:" data-shortname=":gotcha:" />  you did the right thing my friend.Lol!..  we will see, we will see <img src="http://yoursmiles.org/ssmile/fun/s0208.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":lol:" title="lol    :lol:" data-shortname=":lol:" />  who knows what you might spot next time you're in the store?Yes, that's a great way to look at it, because Lumina has helped save 3 others <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />Gosh, they are keeping you busy.  I guess having so many, you will always have at least one or two who are showing off their blooms <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" />They are both so beautiful <img src="https://smileyshack.files.wordpress.com/2011/01/shappy_clap_100-101.gif?w=150&h=133"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":clap:" title="Clap    :clap:" data-shortname=":clap:" /><img src="https://smileyshack.files.wordpress.com/2011/01/shappy_clap_100-101.gif?w=150&h=133"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":clap:" title="Clap    :clap:" data-shortname=":clap:" /> thank you for showing me. Comets blooms in particular, look almost unreal because they are so perfect., also the centre of her blooms are very snazzy.<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" />I do like that name, it sounds right for her.I bet you would be lost without the Plant Tower now, it must make looking after them a bit easier for you.You and me both Michelle <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />   I also appreciate the  everyday things far more than I used to do.   I now find myself keep checking our garden looking for the bulbs coming up, I'm so desperate for spring to arrive.Yes they do.  I think they have the second jab within 12 weeks of having the first.  I'm taking Mr Ls Mum tomorrow for her jab as well.   No, the daffodils I bought were cut ones, so they sat in a vase for a week, making me smile <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" />Indeed :Clol: .... how frustrating though, because since we got out TT Yacht we have not been allowed to travel anywhere .Pfft! Next December will be soon enough, thank you <img src="http://smileys.smilchat.net/smiley/expressive/agree/non-2010.gif" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Apparently they got lost <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite11" alt=":rolleyes:" title="Roll Eyes    :rolleyes:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":rolleyes:" /> ... lost! when they have the most futuristic navigation system ever created!! sounds like a flimsy excuse to me <img src="https://smileyshack.files.wordpress.com/2010/12/sangry_fist_100-105.gif?w=150&h=84"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":a2:" title="Argue 2    :a2:" data-shortname=":a2:" />      ... those presents they bring had better be fab or else.</blockquote>
