" RHS Garden Wisley
Don't forget, if you want to take one of the orchids from the Orchids in the Glasshouse display home for a suggested donation (cash only), pop along to the Glasshouse today or tomorrow between 1 - 2.30pm.http://www.rhs.org.uk/Gardens/Wisley/What-s-on " -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.com South Devon www.helpforheroes.org.uk |

Your posts don't usually show these 'extras'. Have you tried to attach something, like an image? I'm just curious. Perhaps someone will know the answer, even if you have no knowledge of it. It's because she has sent the message as MIME (email) format instead of the usual plain text for URG. I'm sure that was a one-off slip. |

When we went for a walk around just after the orchid festival they were dismantling the displays and the orchids were in a pile outside the glasshouse in the freezing weather. I asked a gardener and he said they were all destined to be composted although the expensive Vandas would be sent back to the nursery. So thousands of Phalaenopsis were just thrown onto the compost heap when Kew are always asking for money donations. Is it just me? They could sell them off at a couple of pounds each and at least recoup some of the outlay. -- Regards. Bob Hobden. Posted to this Newsgroup from the W of London, UK |

No, I simply copied and pasted the url but can't remember where I saw it now. Facebook or Twitter, perhaps? -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.com South Devon www.helpforheroes.org.uk |

And today we were looking at the RHS plant catalogue and nearly fainted at some prices. Perennials in 9cm pots at £7.99!! How on earth anyone can charge that for a baby plant I do not know. A bit more 'housekeeping' would definitely be a good idea! -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.com South Devon www.helpforheroes.org.uk |

It doesn't cause any harm, but with a text reader such as most of us use it can look rather strange. Because URG doesn't accept pictures and attachments, MIME format is unnecessary and just increases file sizes. That's a disadvantage if you are on a mobile service with a data cap. |
