I know this maybe the thread that never goes anywhere, but I would like to say that I am very interested in collecting Orchids and was just wondering if there are any serious collectors or even just people who love an orchid in East Dulwich? I would like to ad a few more unusual Orchids to my collection to brighten up my new pad and was wondering if there are any shows or a local branch of the orchid society i could join. If any one has seedlings they would like to sell I would be very interested!!


thanks

Iain.

George Eliot on an unsuccessful marriage: "To the last [he] occasionally let slip a bitter speech which was more memorable than the signs he made of his repentance. He once called her his basil plant; and when she asked for a explanation, said the basil was a plant which had flourished wonderfully on a murdered man's brains."

Iain take this as you see fit.


I and my friends like to grow a bit of dope over the summer and we often get quite competative concerning the end result. I don't go in for all this hightech halogen lights malarky but instead prefer to cultivate some good Sensimelia.


What I've discovered through various underground publications is that Orchids are very similar to Marijuana as in the seeds are often cross breed hybrids. A good tip for growing homegrown as well as Orchids is to water them with mineral water and to use only fruit peel as fertilizer.


Good luck.

I like orchids, but the flowers always decide they've had enough and then they die, anybody got any advice?


when the flower dies cut the stork down to the next joiny bit on the stem it should sprout a new flower shoot, also feed your orchid every two weeks and make sure it does not stand in water!!

I grow poppies in quartzite hewn by hand from the hindu kush, oooooh they should be ready to harvest soon. I feed mine with the blood of counter insurgents and fill the air with cordite to make them feel at home.


Cant wait to get smacked out of my brains in the very near future & just think all this from the foothills of Sydenham & a low carbon footprint.



What recession ? by the time I come to it should be all over.



Oh & f**k your Orchids, poppies rock.




WOW MAN W**F

    • We've got a Victorian coal hole cellar with a mud floor and after a couple of severe water leaks, I've taken more of an interest in the state of the dampness.  I've been running a dehumidifier for the past couple of weeks following a small water pipe leak and whilst most of the floor is now bone dry, there are damp patches along most of the wall adjoining the next house, a large damp patch in the middle of the floor that will not dry even with the dehumidifier right next to it and a patch of wet mud in a small hollow in the middle of the cellar.  An expert that lent us industrial drying equipment following a flood from a burst mains pipe said there will always be damp, but I'm a bit concerned in case there is a fundamental problem - any ideas from anyone with similar?
    • Best you post when you have an idea of dates  - waste  of everyone’s time
    • Hi there,  Looking for 10-12 jars (to start with) of local honey to fill a small section of a deli space in my work canteen. Please get in touch if you know of any community projects/small scale productions Cheers
    • Yeah, it did work out in the end, but it was way more stressful and expensive than it needed to be. He lost money. He had higher offers early on, but those buyers pulled out because of all the delays. On top of that, he spent a fortune on legal fees trying to get the neighbour to sign off on the freehold transfer. It dragged on for ages. In the end, he was lucky the final buyer stuck with it, but the price was lower, and the whole thing left a bad taste. A lesson learned. Share of freehold can be a real nightmare if the other owners aren’t cooperative. You’ve got to be 100 per cent sure everyone’s reasonable, otherwise it’s just not worth the hassle.
