Well - actually, yours've got a beautiful lime tinge in the petals, whereas mine are a sort of murky orange.

Tell ya what - I'll bring you a backbulb or two next time I visit Kew, 'k??

A cuppa dear?

Two sugars please ... just a spot of milk.

Care for a shortbread biscuit?

I'll take that backbulb but only if you accompany me to visit the Kew orchid house.

Biscuit? Oh yes please. Brought some "Galaxy" choco...try just a bitsy bit?
