Chris,

But some of us still link the idea of sex with romanticism, even if we're not thinking about the sexual organs of other kingdoms......  (And oh boy there are a lot of comments I COULD make here that I am definitely not going to make!  :-[)

See Maggi, I CAN get myself out of the gutter occasionally.  ;D ;)  Barely. :o

Knowing my luck I'd probably end up as the dead-horse arum, with a smell to live up to the name.  ::)

Each to their own - wonder if that perfume would sell well in duty free for novelty value?

Just realised I had written all that stuff about not growing Masdevallias again, and I went and bought five of them! Looking through your pics ( again! ) Paul shows how irrestisatble the Pleurothalid alliance really is!
This time I have my east facing room, humidity tray, ventilation fan, I I have put a small tray of water infront of the fan to boost the humidity of the 'blowing air'. Lower winter temps are actually easier to acheive here than they were in the UK with a centrally heated house or a greenhouse maintained for intermediate type orchids!
