love an Orchid

[iaineasy]

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.

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

[Ted Max]

A simple ceremony should be suitable. Don't send orchids to the bereaved, though. That would be tactless.

[woofmarkthedog]

Te hee , me like dat.

[Fear 'n boozin]

I'll place it next to Basil.

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Lorenzo is a good fertilizer for Basil.

[Fear 'n boozin]

Lorenzo? Basil always dies too.

[Ted Max]

F'n'B, you'll also need a covering of mould, and to keep it ever fed with thin tears.

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.

can you smoke orchids then? Keef, want to pop round? (I have some purple bud!).

I shed tears over the olive tree, the dull thud made by it's leaves as they hit the floor kept me up at night. Tragic.

My friends and I...

[bigbadwolf]

Quite right Brendan. My imaginary companions and I...

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!!

Careful, it will walk like a duck and taste like butter.

A friend bought me an orchid for my birthday. I killed it. She bought me another one and I killed that too. I would like to say "third time lucky" but I fear it won't be the case.

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
