Welcome to the 'Members Gallery'

And about that cutting the flower stalk down when they have finished flowering; IMHO do not do this. They are far far more likely to re-flower if you just leave the stalk alone, I don't know why but it has been my almost continuous experience that those cut back are shy flowering afterwards. I suspect most of the Phalaenopsis I get to see aren't that well looked after, so every little helps them along. good luck!!

 

Thanks jazid, I shall remember that!

Thinking of getting some sort of tray to go under it and fill with pebbles and water for moisture....perhaps colour to go with colour of flowers? Is that a bit over the top, any thoughts/suggestions? It will be on the bathroom window cill.(east facing)

 

Cosmic Cosmos purple sensation.some of these plants have grown to 6ft at our allotment.they have completely taken over.there are a few gaps due to bad wind but they are looking fantastic and its October.

 

OK.thats the last one.i wish i could suss how to put them all on the same post.

 

That's a cosmic display E, has taken over a bit!

 

Strongylodon,i had to set about them with the secateurs to clear that path so Mr. fiz could get past with his pigeon baskets.

 

Elaine, love the Cosmos! Regarding your postings, I use two windows, side by side, Photobucket in one, GC in the other. Then I say my bit on GC, do a few carrier returns to come down, go over to Photobucket, copy the photo then paste it in GC. Then I go a couple of carrier returns down from my link, go back over to Photobucket, copy another photo and then post it in GC, carrier return a few times .... etc? Does that make sense to you?

 

Hi LOL,thanks for taking the time to explain but it still makes no sense to me. when i try to paste the second pic it cancels the first.what is carrier returns please?.

 

The enter key at your right pinky. This way each link is on a different line and you can type whatever you want in between the links.
