Bat got ya tongue?
Nice plant!
I concede, you have better lip colour
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.
Shall we backbulb there?
(heretical shudders)
Biscuit? Oh yes please. Brought some "Galaxy" choco...try just a bitsy bit?
If only..............................
Just a square of Galaxy please, I've a taste for a muffin with melted cheese.
Yes - this shop *is* very clean...

Mine was cute, but it died. Not enough air?
When it was dying, what were the symptoms?
