So, there we are, watching Monty Don for once not at Longmeadows, thank
goodness, with the promise of some information in the programme on
orchids. Just what SWMBO is looking for.

Monty Don: "The most popular type of orchid is Phalaeonopsis".

Us: "Great. This is going to be good".

Monty Don: "So we're going to show you how to pot on..."

Us: "Yes? Yes?"

Monty Don: "...a Cimbidium".

Us: groanreaches for the fire water

Would you have posted here if everything was to your satisfaction? Or
are you like the rest of the plebs, only post your complaints?

Your sig separator is broken, meaning that your reply was stripped as it appeared to be part of a sig file; not an
unexpected occurrence for Microsoft Usenet products. There may be a fix for it, including using dedicated
software from other providers.

This apart, Don raised expectations regarding phalaeonopsis, then dashed them.

In case you missed it, I did express gratitude at the change of location. One can only take so much interest in a
soggy, bare, vegetable plot.
