The person below me game......

[streetmorrisart]

A resounding "true"--I've had a very weird schedule and itinerary as of late, so much so that I can tell I've been grinding my teeth. My eyes are so miserable I shouldn't have my contacts in, but I don't like working with glasses on.

TPBM knows the secrets to growing Paph. bellatulum in a climate that gets very hot and doesn't cool off at night in the summer and wants to share a bit of their wisdom.

 

[cnycharles]

I wish; both of mine have passed a while back

tpbm is pondering thinking up another tpbm question
(and also found out that it is time to start watering pterostylis, if not doing so already)

 

[Clark]

false. I was thinkin' about bellatulum.

tpbm is thinkin' the lady above me is using a wet sphagnum diaper around her 'chid in hot climate.

 

[Kavanaru]

False...

TPBM, is considering whether he/she should leave his/her orchids society and join a different one, after the Big Scene from last night: TPBM brought some blooming Paphies growing in S/H to the Society meeting, which were admired but most. However, the S/H stuff initiated a huge "fight" (we cannot call it debate anymore) among the members: 1) TPBM, pro S/H and explaining how it works 2) 5 others, saying that it obviously work and 3) 10 other members yelling at everybody that it was crap, and those paphies had been put into S/H just recently to be shown at the meeting and TPBM was a liar (The rest of the crowd just stayed there saying and doing nothing). As a Result, some visitor decided not to join the society, and the society will not be present with a stand at the country society meeting this year (the member anti S/H would not show their plants if S/H plant are present, and other members would not accept that these plants are not presented because of them. Fazit: no plants to be shown) - RIDICULOUS!!!!

 

[biothanasis]

False! Although I want / would love to belong to an orchid society (that could be near me) so it could be semi-true! I think you should give it another try! If these unacceptable things continue then u should definatey leave!!! It sounded more like a jealousy think rather than something of an argument!

TPBM is wondering when the problems between gmail and hotmail / yahoo will stop!!!!! Geez!!!!!

 

[NYEric]

False!
TPBM hasn't been to their OS meeting in over 2 years!

 

[streetmorrisart]

false. I was thinkin' about bellatulum.

tpbm is thinkin' the lady above me is using a wet sphagnum diaper around her 'chid in hot climate.

You talkin' to me? If yes, "no".

And, false, no OS for me.

TPBM has been whale watching in San Francisco and can recommend a good business.

 

[cnycharles]

false; last whale watching trip ended in lost breakfast that lasted until lunchtime (though never had a problem since then and would go again if whales actually showed up)

tpbm is again watching raindrops

 

[nikv]

False. The rainy season in California won't start for another month or two.

TPBM has been whale watching in San Francisco and can recommend a good business.

Robin, who do you recommend?

TPBM wonders why he/she can't keep a delenatii alive long enough to bloom.

 

[Kavanaru]

False... I have just recently received my first delenatii, and it is still alive... let's see how it does here

TPBM, is looking forward to receive an order (mainly Paphies) from abroad next saturday

 

[luvsorchids]

False-got one today, not from abroad. Will post picture shortly.

TPBM needs more space for plants .

 

[SlipperFan]

Very very true!

TPBM has a freeze warning tonight, so has covered up her Cymbidiums so they can stay outside a few more days.

 

[streetmorrisart]

Robin, who do you recommend?

I was hoping someone in the area like you could tell me! If you were asking about Seattle, I could help--that was an awesome experience...transient Orcas.

TPBM is also enjoying Ken Burns' National Parks Documentary Series.

 

[Clark]

close, my wife is.

tpbm viewed Io, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto thru some crystal clear binoculars (pun intended) last night.

 

[biothanasis]

False, but it sounds really cool!!!

TPBM hopes he/she finds a new appartment soon with a new and bigger growing area...!!!!!

 

[NYEric]

False, there is no way I could get a bigger apt.
TPBM needs to invest in artificial supplementary lighting.

 

[Clark]

true and worse.

tpbm has thrown away many flourenscent light fixtures before orchid habit.

 

[Yoyo_Jo]

False!

TPBM is going to be spending the whole weekend at an orchid show. :drool:

 

[cnycharles]
