Ack! That reminds me to crawl behind the boat and see what ours are doing Tehehe!
These are beautiful Anon, I love thier colour and Im sure they are different to ours - (bet I cant find that tag either) I love the fern with them - so very pretty altogether!
I did see someone has eaten the buds off of our native feather orchid yesterday - blighters!
Hope youre feeling better - take care!

I haven't shown my 'bug eaten' orchids yet Lavender, but they will be included in the Orchid Show. Maybe from a distance! I remember you posted very similar native orchids once, I will be back to investigate when return - which is tomorrow afternoon :)

Hmmmm, what girl KJ? OH you mean this bird ;) My first profession was black and white photography ... a very long time ago after studying negatives for a good fifteen years before that! Received a Photography Honours Diploma not that long ago ... I do things backwards :)

This phototrickery is a fantastical thing. Maybe one day I will be able to conjure such fine tricks as these and show my wortleberries and balenuts to the world.

Bug eaten flowers that go with that tea served next door... I had some of it before – tea with bugs –and now I looked at your flowers, I am green with envy. Vomit!

I'm quite sure the world isn't ready to see your whortleberries and bale nuts Wizard Why! Trickery will get you arrested!

That's just the tea from Artwork Anonymous's place next door which has turned you Lily Mostly Green. I see your thumb is still pink!

Love these tiny ones and among the ferns. I love ferns. I am envious. I can't grow flowers, only leaves!!!

I have seen the ferns at your place Ces and they are extra healthy ferns! Orchids and bulbs are the easiest flowering plants to grow. Try sprouting one on your window sill over a cup of water, above your washing up sink Ces!

I will go to Hong Kong City Mall and get myself an orchid plant. They already have blooms. I will try that. Thanks.

Good to hear Ces! I would love to hear about its progress too. Let me know when you have it and we will begin from there!

Millimeters. Each bud is less than a centimeter each Perriette :)
