The person below me game......

[Clark]

true. out the door after another sentence.

tpbm is unlikely to make an orchid purchase today .

 

[likespaphs]

very true, unfortunately.....

tpbm is gonna try to get some repotting started in the next few days

 

[cnycharles]

that has been the plan for about the last few months... (so..)

tpbm is thinking about something for dinner....

 

[Kavanaru]

False... I had dinner 5 hours ago

TPBM, will go swimming at the lake tomorrow...

 

[Clark]

part true. friends pool.

tpbm is up way too early for a Sunday.

 

[Kavanaru]

Absolutely TRUE!!! I was up at 6:00 am...

TPBM is bidding for two hangianum hybrids

 

[Clark]

false. no bidding right now.

4:30 am for me. crashed early last night after an afternoon of daiquiris.

tpbm bought cypress mulch from Petco this week, and is wondering if
GoldenRose gets hers there as well.

 

[Kavanaru]

4:30 am on Sunday!!! That's not early... that's criminal!!!

False, don't know what is Petco and never used cypress mulch (what is it used for?)

TPBM, just bought Paph Shun-Fa Golden and Paph In-charm Handel

 

[Clark]

false. tend to gravitate towards narrow petaled species and hybrids.

My auction Phrag. from Rose had an unfamiliar look for 'soil'.
I had seen in one of her posts that she uses cypress instead of fir bark (at least on some plants). My auction Phrag. will double in size in a year.

tpbm has read on the forum about the importance of moisture on the surface
of medium. (In 2wks Pk has noticable positive reactions).

 

[likespaphs]

true


tpbm wants the coffee to kick in faster

 

[cnycharles]

false, no desire for coffee or caffeine

tpbm isn't surprised to see another day of misty rain after one of nice sunshine

 

[Beth]

True, the weather sucks this summer

TPBM does not have any zygopetalum in their collection.

 

[biothanasis]

True!!! I have killed all I had...LOL

TPBM is very tired from the today's trip!!!!!!!!

 

[goldenrose]

False no trip today!
TPBM is expecting out of town guests next month.

tpbm bought cypress mulch from Petco this week, and is wondering if
GoldenRose gets hers there as well.

Nope - got mine at Home Depot this spring $1.48 for a 2 cub.ft. bag!

False, don't know what is Petco and never used cypress mulch (what is it used for?)

Petco is a pet store & cypress mulch/bark is used for reptile bedding, for us a potting media! I think Gilda was the one that mentioned she was trying it & I thought good idea - cypress grow in swampy/wet areas would phrags not require repotting as often because the media is not breaking down as quick?

 

[Clark]

false. but if any fellow Slipertalkers want to stop by, PM me for my phone#.

tpbm paid too much for their cypress mulch.

Could someone tell me the ph of cypress vs. fir bark?

 

[cnycharles]

false, no mulch, also don't know pH's

believe it or not (don't shoot tpbm), but tpbm went to their recent orchid society meeting and the show table had not a single slipper orchid on it

 

[Kavanaru]

True, most people at our orchid society don't really like Paphies (with some exceptions, of course)

TPBM, had a great sunny and warm (actually hot) Sunday, and is surprised this morning to see a rainy and (F*#&Ç*) cold Monday..

 

[Beth]

False, Sunday was misty with a bit of rain - and I'm NOT surprised to see the same today. It's not really cold though. Just right for orchids, but too humid for me

TPBM has the same kind of weather and actually enjoys it.

 

[NYEric]

True, I like cool and humid.
TPBM needs to survey 200-300 orchids to see what sizes of pots to order!

 

[Kavanaru]

(I like cool and humid, but not when alternated with HOT and sunny à la one-for-you-one-for-me!)

False, no need to order new pots

TPBM, is feeling sick (grippe symptoms), and his/her colleagues say he/she's gotten the swine flu, because "he/she is a pig"
