You've  a mind of knowledge about these plants Michelle <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />   I'm glad to hear you pass on tips to other people.Oh my goodness, she is a little goddess!     <img src="https://smileyshack.files.wordpress.com/2010/12/sbowing_100-109.gif?w=150&h=102"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":bowing" title="Bowing    :bowing" data-shortname=":bowing" /><img src="https://smileyshack.files.wordpress.com/2010/12/sbowing_100-109.gif?w=150&h=102"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":bowing" title="Bowing    :bowing" data-shortname=":bowing" /><img src="https://smileyshack.files.wordpress.com/2010/12/sbowing_100-109.gif?w=150&h=102"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":bowing" title="Bowing    :bowing" data-shortname=":bowing" /> shes the very definition of Sunburst, what gorgeous  blooms she has, wow!   it was well worth waiting two years for.Tippie is also very unusual and beautiful, the centre of her blooms look like gems. And she did made me laugh, because she looks like shes photo-bombing <img src="http://yoursmiles.org/ssmile/fun/s0208.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":lol:" title="lol    :lol:" data-shortname=":lol:" /> Its a long project <img src="http://yoursmiles.org/ssmile/fun/s0208.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":lol:" title="lol    :lol:" data-shortname=":lol:" />  .  The thing is,  even when the garden is absolutely perfect their is always something that needs doing, I guess that's why I love it out there in the soil .... with the worms and snails.Yes.  I've been back a couple of times and I'm pleased to say the place is busier than ever.    A friend of mine who is a wheelchair user had a birthday a couple of weeks ago and we ordered a ....'takeaway afternoon tea' ..... to celebrate, they don't deliver, but we don't live far so I easily picked it up.  Anyway, they'd put each persons (their were 4 of us) afternoon tea in separate bags and in each bag was also a small bouquet of flowers, they looked wonderful, I thought this was a nice extra touch. Oh my, these are lucky Orchids to have found you, I hope Moxy pulls through.   I like all the names too, how do you think of them?I'd love that <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />You'd have to charter your own plane and fill the seats with Orchids instead of people <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" />Aww its such a cute little thing, I don't think you or anyone  could've done anything for it Michelle, sometimes when us humans try to help we can make it worse for birds.     Lets keep our fingers crossed that it regained its strength and flew away to safety.   I  agree with you that   it is sad when we come across things like this, we've had birds fly into our conservatory window with a loud crash, I hate it when that happens, but usually (not always) the birds do flutter away again.</blockquote>
