The reason it's so hard to lose weight when you get up in age is because your body and your fat have become good friends.

Thought this might be the best spot to post these photos - Glossodia major (an Australian native which grows wild along the roadside near one of my relatives), which I came across whilst visiting family on the weekend:



You can see the single leaf at the base of the plant in the second photo; the last one shows another example of it growing amongst something else.

Very pretty! Are there many native orchids in your region? We have only one in my draught ridden area, and it may be extinct now, as it is called a stream orchid.

Thanks. There are apparently a number of native orchids, but I've only ever seen this one near my relatives (a large number of them dot the roadside - one of the more common wildflowers in the area). That said, I've never gone looking for them.

It's very pretty Joshua..and the flower seems quite large ..especially for a 'wild flower'..amazing what you can see along the roadside when you take the time to look! I let my dog walk off the leash in a meadow that runs up to some woods near my house and there has to be 20-30 small flowering plants growing in the grass at any given time...none as spectacular as yours though!

Just an update of my Eulophia petersii, overwintered and kept dry indoors. I brought it out about 2 weeks ago and it got its first Spring showers this week.

Saw new roots growing, so it is waking up from its slumber:

Thanks Ursula! Am still trying to understand its growth, glad it did not mind the rainshowers while temps went a tad cooler.

I just received an order from Brent and Becky's Bulbs that included a Pleione tongariro ...the cultural instructions say to plant it in peat...I think I would prefer it in a pot..and some of the info I find on the web is contradictory...even suggesting that it could be grown in a bark mix..what I received looks like a tiny tulip bulb...any thoughts?

I've never even heard of Pleione and had to look them up. Pretty flowers. Looks like an orchid mix would be fine for potting them. I read where they grow naturally there are four distinct seasons. One site mentioned digging the bulbs and refrigerating them to provide for a cool period.

Yes , I saw that too and that's why I opted for a small plastic pot.. if we don't get a cold winter, I'll just throw it in the lower vegetable drawer where it will be forgotten for 2 or 3 seasons.
