Hi all,

This is my first message to this Newsgroup. Apart from my lifelong love of
gardening, I am also very keen on photography, plants included. As I only
have a smallish garden with an equally smallish pond, I don't grow any
vegetables concentrating on orchids, cacti and a few carnivorous plants. Now
retired, I am able to devote much more of my time to both hobbies.

That sounds like a good combination. You will be most welcome here.
