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

    • @HeadNun I haven't been through the assessment for mental health issues, god knows they treat you like you have one when you are assessed for motability issues. Therefore I can't comment on what you've read but don't always believe what the media telks you as they often sensationalise things to sell papers and bend the story slightly 😉  All I am doing in this thread is asking people who disagree to the PIP reform in its current format to write to their MP to say so and ask for a well consulted and thought through change. I'm not here to change people's minds but happy to discuss how disability impacts lives.
    • I hate the idea of someone with a genuine disability losing money, it's heart-breaking. I thought the whole idea of these cuts was to get kids with mental health issues, which we used to call 'the human condition', off benefits and into a job. Before anyone says anything, I'm not talking about people with severe autism.  If the tests are so astringent, Spartacus, how come healthy youngsters with anxiety are getting benefits? It's ludicrous.  This from The Times:  Then there is mental health. This is the fastest-growing category of claim; anxiety and depression is now the single biggest reason to claim PIPs, accounting for 16 per cent of spending. Including problems such as autism and ADHD, there are 1.4 million people claiming for “psychiatric disorders”, almost 40 per cent of the total.   NHS figures on Thursday found that 23 per cent of people of working age now have a mental disorder, up from 18 per cent a decade ago, rising to 26 per cent in 16 to 24 year-olds. Young people are most likely to claim benefits for mental health problems and there is growing concern about a generation who may do so for decades. The number of children on disability living allowance, the precursor to PIPs, will reach a million by the end of the decade, double pre-Covid levels. Most of these are for behavioural problems such as ADHD or learning disabilities
