The mere mention of a Mojito accompanied with some cold, crush watermelon makes me weak at the knees.

Whoops, wrong thread.

I got some brilliant new orchids today from the RHS show but I am sad to say that rootsy the orchid is very ill, he has changed his name to rotsy and may not survive a bad case of root rot, I fear the end is upon him poor thing.

Iaineasy - you make me green with envy. I've had a go with a few orchids but none of them last the week. My garden thrives but I can't get anything to live in the house with me (sigh). Even a cactus.

hey they are petty easy to grow! start with a phaleanopsis they never die!!
