Message: <blockquote data-quote="Long Lashes" data-source="post: 341644" data-attributes="member: 41">Plants are  a complete mystery to me   .. I wonder how a Begonia found its way to your Poinsettia  plant pot?    I have a viola plant that's suddenly appeared in a pot where I have a rose, how did it get there?  Ah I see.  So Begonias run through the family  <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />No not yet, I think I'm too out of my depth to do that.  I need to have a chat with my Dad, he's my garden and plant expert .I'm glad you found his photo, he made me laugh.He'd  come over to the UK for our Queens funeral  and I bet he couldn't believe his luck when he saw our petrol prices, especially as you say he is up for re-election.   I could just imagine him shouting to his driver .."pull over, pull over" .. when he saw our prices <img src="http://yoursmiles.org/ssmile/fun/s0208.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":lol:" title="lol    :lol:" data-shortname=":lol:" />You obviously like a challenge Michelle. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" /> Have all  the pests been eradicated now?  I'm not sure I would've been brave enough to tackle those.  Poor plants, I wonder if the bugs were itchy?   or do plants even feel itchy?  Lets hope they go from strength to strength from now on.  Phew! what a lucky day they had when you walked into the store.Ooo I love these Orchid adventures <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" />Wow, that was a very big discount.How lovely to see the step-by-step rescue in photographs, thanks Michelle .   Considering they were on the 'Last Chance' shelf they both look in quite good condition. They both have a lot of blooms and I do like whites .. reminds me of my Pearl.   The pastel  yellow is a lovely colour too, looks delicate and fresh.Do they all fit on your swish Orchid Tower?    if you don't mind me asking.  And its not a crazy hobby Michelle     :hb:    its fascinating.  Some people keep/collect tropical fish or other things, you just happen to connect with beautiful Orchids and what lucky Orchids they are.</blockquote>
