Dear Roger! This was a great and true speech about our crazy and degenerated world. I wish you good nerves and stay strong, it can even get worser😕. So sorry for your long journey and the missing time for orchids.
Wonderful Sunday chat although Mojo might have stole the show. I am reminded of this quote - "Most cats, when they are Out want to be In, and vice versa, and often simultaneously." (Louis J Camuti, D.V.M.). Wishing you a traffic free week ahead!
The Victoria Reginae is quite lovely. Just subscribed to the garden channel. You are now at 411~! Love Mojo. He does steal the show. Thanks for the chat!
Great Sunday chat, Roger! Sorry for your traffic nightmare. My old cat yeowls just like Mojo. He is happy, or so I think, but he decided to so that. That Victoria Reginae is stunning!
Could you tell me please - what are grow stones? We don’t seem to have them here. Not knowing about them not sure if we have an equivalent. Sorry for the horrific trip you had going to the meeting. I’ve been stuck like that and its exhausting. Have a good day.
Growstones are a form of expanded recycled glass but the main company that produced them went out of business so they are very difficult to get now. They are good as they hold more water and air than perlite.
We have the same issues with the internet providers in Canada! Always dread the end of the contract period and the haggling with the company to keep the prices down.
Hi Roger🙌😊I know those days😩Nice beach weather there sounds good, maybe not the crowd though. I can safely say that dendrobium nobiles, cattleya & hybrids, Laelia can do well in my climate in Japan, oh and Vandas, and the native Vanda falcata. Unfortunately other orchids cease growth over 30℃, and that's just a real shame because I love them dearly. I grow Phalaenopsis in the home successfully and one large Coelogyne intermedia with temperatures about 30℃ indoors🤭I'm planning to bring it to the airconditioned room hoping I don't cause any beefs. Good point about how many videos a person can watch☝️I know the channels that are from Florida have oodles of blooms to show off and get many viewers😉👍And you by the way have blooms a lot through the summer🤲💞That's a green thumb.
We have exactly the same problems in the US. Our country is broken as well. It is not unheard of people sitting in traffic 12, 16, 24 hours! Especially in the winter if a sudden snow squall causes a white-out and many multiple vehicles crash into each other and others continue to crash because they cannot see the accident ahead. Nightmare. We also have to renegotiate internet often and talk to someone in Sri Lanka to do it.
Don't tell me about call centers in foreign countries, the hassle my husband had with issues with house insurance and phone provider is beyond ridiculous, it took days to sort out one issue and weeks for the other one,then they send you a survey asking you to rate their service !!!!!

Thanks.
Thanks for the enjoyable chat.
You're welcome.
Victoria Regina’s is OUTSTANDING ROGER ❤❤❤❤❤
It is looking exceptional at the moment - thanks.
Great Sunday chat!! ❤
Thanks.

I have to take my car in today to get the electrics on the drivers door sorted - a short 2 mile journey - what could go wrong?
I feel for you and you snail paced journey. Nice chat as usual always look forward to it.
Thanks.

Thanks - and you're welcome.
I understand what your frustrations are!! Same here in Australia!!
If we could choose a good company over a bad one we would - but they're all the same.
Great Sunday chat, Roger! Sorry for your traffic nightmare.

It seems to be a 'thing' that some older cats do.
My grape hyacinths come up in the fall after disappearing over the summer. Did you plant anything like that?
I don't think so.
My hyacinths are growing since last two months, maybe they start blooming in early winnter😅🙏
Could you have a Spider Lilly growing in the garden? Some years they show and some years they don't.
Great chat, thanks for the shout out now I know you’ll be doing an unboxing I’ll use plenty of cello tape 😂
Don't forget the packing peanuts 😁
Oh yes ynse never thought of them 😂
🤣
No 'packing peanuts' - they end up in land-fill and blow all over the place.
Only joking Buddy
Thanks for the great Sunday chat. I really love the Victoria Regina, glad it’s doing so well!
It took a long time to get - first a hybrid that was pink - one arrived dead and finally, one from Burnhams when Sara split a specimen plant.
Enjoyed your Sunday chat. Sorry about your travel delays!
It happens.
I Just love cats 😂😂😂😂
Me too.
Hot it’s 105 degrees here in Houston. Sorry about your bad day yesterday. Good luck with the new plant.
I hope it grows ok.
Great chat
Thanks.
well my blue bells are comming up as well , most strangely
I'll have a closer look when I do the full garden update.
Curious to know if you’ll get twinkles again
I still have some Twinkles.

@@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsai Thanks so much for telling me. Too bad they are out of business but think sponge rock is basically the same. 🙂
Sponge rock is just giant perlite - also difficult to get here in the UK.
@@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsai I’ve got it now. Thank you so much. 🙂
Do you still have your Dendrobium Loddigesii
I was wondering that, too. Mine is in a terrible state, and I was wondering if you still had yours, how is it doing?
No - that one didn't make it.
We have the same issues with the internet providers in Canada! Always dread the end of the contract period and the haggling with the company to keep the prices down.
Well, I have 18 months of peace with a speed upgrade for just £1 extra.
Jethro ? that's an obscure one 😁
One of my favourites.
😁

Summer in the UK is normally a 'quiet time' for orchid blooms.
Did you ever consider a companion for Mojo maybe an adult cat, a rescue cat!?
Not really. At 19, he is set in his ways.
well, dont blame the support agents. Blame the companies that want to cut costs that outsource.

Once upon a time, companies really valued their customers - now they just say they do.
I got an orchid I thought I needed but now I have it I'm not so sure 🤣 (large is an understatement)
What kind, so the rest of us who don't have a lot of space can take note and not order one. Thank you!
Grammatophyllum 😁I have less space then Roger has so I think you could house one
Grammatophyllum speciosum - the largest known orchid in the world.
Very happy with it but have no idea where to put it 😁
When I need to call a company (any company) I always call the business extension. they're not in a callcenter half way round the world
Don't tell me about call centers in foreign countries, the hassle my husband had with issues with house insurance and phone provider is beyond ridiculous, it took days to sort out one issue and weeks for the other one,then they send you a survey asking you to rate their service !!!!!
They're all the same - and it takes ages waiting to get through.
