new addition

[sandra]

Thought I'd share my new addition with you all, a little oncidium that I couldn't resist. If I get some time this afternoon, I'm going back to the nursery to buy a paph. Only problem is, I can't decide which one to get. Either the yellow/burgundy or white/plum. My pockets are getting empty but my impulses for more are outta control!

P.S. Anton, I know....these photos are a wee bit out of focus but I'll get there!

What a beauty, sandra4453.

I bought 3 Oncidiums yesterday without blooms.

None of you are helpful to those who are in 'addiction recovery' phase!!

May be I should leave this forum so that my yearning will stop

I can help mate.

You can do the same thing that i do

I get my treatment from my local orchid doctor

[pikevi]

yea..... that was really helpful, fred

fight fire with fire??

[fred]

the orchid doctor works well

I love the mdeication I get

I also have 3 repeats as well

Pekevi,

Fuggetaboutit! I'm the worst influence when it comes to giving in to temptation! Impulsive is my middle name....with orchids (well, ok...pizza too). It's amazing how I keep telling myself I've got no more room for another plant and yet, I always manage to make plenty of it!

Fred, when we Americans come to Aussie Land for Anton's barby, I don't know about the rest of the gang but I think I need to see what's cookin in your GH too! If any end up missing, we'll blame it on the dingo!!!!

Pekevi, he's a real tease, this Fred of ours!

[fred]

lol sandra4453

I carnt blame the dingo we dont have any here in tassie.

I will have to blame the wife she is always telling me if i get more orchids that she will grrrrrrrr and grrrr then she wals off

I think that means that she is not happy.

but thats fine the new orchids are happy

thats why I get then from the orchid doctor

[pikevi]

I really don't have room for any more orchids.

I have to somehow find some room for the last batch

I hope the weather will improve so that I can take some of the other plants (not orchids) outdoors.

I think I am becoming a masochist

[Anton]

Sandra, try uturning your flash on and re photograph them, see how that goes.

I still have plenty of room in MY GH !

Can't wait for the Royal Adelaide Show to come along, it is equivalent to a State country fair. The have a massive flower display, mostly orchids.

I am putting ALL my nickels and dimes away that Genny gives me for pocket money to buy an icecream if I'm a good boy.

[BillC]

Anton, I can't see a great macho guy like you having trouble with POCKET MONEY. I would have thought you would be dishing it out!

[Anton]

I wish !

Money and me have never been friends, we part company too easily.

Let's just say I am on probation and "she who must be obeyed" is my parole officer where money is concerned.

As far as I am concerned, money is meant for one thing, and I do that one thing very well.

[Anton]

Tamara your images are a bit too big, are you able to reduce the size a little bit ?

[tamara]

I don't know what did I do wrong. They should be size 320x240. I don't know??!!

[tamara]

Ok, I'll try again.

Here are phals that I got for my birthday:

[fred]

tamara

Happy Birthday

wonderful pics.

also the link is a very nice display of your orchid pics.

[Anton]

THAT'S better.

Love the first 2.

[tamara]

Thank you.

I usually take pictures of my orchids ones a month (at least). So I know what has been going on every month for the past few years.

[fred]

thats a good way to run a care sheet or a log book.

[fred]

just an update on two orchids i got a few weeks ago.

looking good

[sandra]

Thats a beautiful collection of orchids you've got Tamara. Happy (belated) Birthday.

[pikevi]

Wish you a happy belated birthday, tamara.

Nice orchids and a very nice lawn. My lawn is getting worse and worse by the year because of my fruit trees all around

flowerchild: I wish I could do it but I am very selfish when it comes to plants. When I get rid of the last piece of furniture I will consider your suggestion

Be patient: it is more likely to happen than not

fred: nice roots
