| Mike, I've been round all the garden centres looking for a compost I feel happy with: one was a sphagnum moss mix, the other had volcanic matter
(perlite I guess), but none of the general centres sell just orchid bark on it's own. I'm visiting a specialist grower next week so hope to pick up something better there. Fingers crossed.
Tomorrow, I'm taking my friend shopping for her birthday - she want's a yellow orchid. who knows what I may come back with - watch this space.
It will have to be one from the garden centre as the specialists don't seem to open on the weekends, but she has a sick husband so she's limited when she can get away. I'm sure the new yellow orchid will fill her birthday with sunshine.
Sorry, getting carried away there, must be the thought of a new orchid (for me) |
