MY SPOTTED PHALAENOPSIS

The latest on my Phalaenopsis which stalled a little in flowering!

Weather has been up and down a great deal and even now it has been raining for three days and I hear it will continue for some days to come?!

The PELLORIC PHALAENOPSIS






SPOTTED PHALAENOPSIS

Typical this was also one ot the first I bought, a little before the PELLORIC ONE, when I had not realised how many fantastic colours there are, just not seen in the damned supermarkets!

Typical in that out of the more fantastic colours I have it is the more abundunt and less impressive coloured ones that have flowered both continually, Pelloric, and FIRS, this Spotted one.

Do not get me wrong they are still beautiful or I would not bother or give them away, but the other two are really unusual and very similar to each other but with very different base colours.

Hopefully you will see this before long but it might be another two weeks, lol.

Post will follow of a few videos showing them and others and their current states.




DENDROBIUM NOBILE ONE

A Dendrobium nobile I saved from certain death and started off with much less purple in the flowers when I first had it?!

Strange, lol.

ONCIDIUM PHALAENOPSIS DENDROBIUM

A few other Orchids and their developments...

First up an Oncidium Sweet Sugar I saved from death from...somewhere two years ago!

Taken a while but produced two NEW growths few weeks back....






Another shot of the Dendrobium Berry Oda but with the NEW CAMERA



The Pelloric Phalaenopsis buds will all be open in two days, this is ONE of TWO Spikes so will reposition for next photographs.


Dendrobium nobile RED-PURPLE with ORANGE CENTRE

This is my second Dendrobium nobile and has an Orange Centre on a Reddish Purple flower.

I like Bamboo Orchids due to their growth and you can see that buds are appearing, I think there are about 7 of these but any that appear could have TWO flowers on one node.

In the other Dendrobium post you will note that there is two on one whereas the rest are single flowers.






Dendrobium nobile - White, Edged Purple BUDS

This is my original Dendrobium nobile and as you can see and like my cream kingianum this will be open in a couple of days.

This one has white flowers with purple petal tips.







Dendrobium kingianum CREAM BUDS

Well it is about to POP!!

Well actually if you look very carefully you will see that it has already started!!

But there are a hell of a lot of buds on here and ore appearing all the time so should look pretty good when they are all out, which would be a couple of days only.

MORE CASH EXCHANGE CONFUSION

Well I emailed both Cash Generator and Cash Converter this morning over the following items and i also stated that I do not want to run around with a load of gear due to my disability.


Now I will list these four items and will state, IF KNOWN, what I know I can get from CEX, that is if they had not barred me from the local store for saying things I did not say and committing a libellous offence at the same time but like all companies know, its OPEN SEASON on the poor due to fecked up legal system that aint worth a wet...blanket! LMAO!

List

Nikon Coolpix S8200 Camera                CEX State £70appx or £90 in exchange

Pink Floyd Shine On (my precious)        CEX State £42 or £48 exchange

Pink Floyd High Hopes Blue Vinyl

Team Daiwa S Float Rod

Now I got a call from Cash Generator in Waltham Cross and they said...

Oh yes we will be very interested in your camera at £50 but I do not want to offer on your Pink Floyd Box Set as it will not be that much. Now I, thinking that he must obviously KNOW that these things are up on Amazon for anything up to £400 (admittedly that is stupid money and pure greed) that he thought that offering me less than say £60 would be insulting. So I said no do not worry I am interested to know!

"It will be less than a tenner mate."

When I then said yes he was right this WAS insulting and pointed out that CEX would pay £42 and that some sellers are asking up to £400 even on Amazon he was shocked.

Hmm big chain does not know the value of something or taken note that I do not want to run around doing everything piecemeal?!

I think that the schooling in this country has a great deal to answer for as it appears to me in recent times that people are unable to READ, PRESS BUTTONS or able to use the INTERNET?!

LMAO!

Oh and they were not interested in the really rare LASER ETCHED thing of bright blue beauty that is my Pink Floyd 12 Inch Vinyl of High Hopes that sells for around £40 minimum!

Oh and they do NOT DO fishing rods either!

Damned funny goods exchange store that has refused to buy, or decently so, some of the most popular things for men. Pink Floyd and Fishing Rods and how bloody bizarre is that?

Well I KNOW Cash Converters sell fishing rods so let us see what happens there and with the Pink Floyd stuff.

"Err yes mate that WAS INSULTING" and I then laughed!

I have had one and now the other now which way will Cash Converter go?

THE PRECIOUS ... LOL.
Not to Cash Generator who offered less than £10?!


THE TWO PRECIOUSES!! LMAO!


£120 for a new camera with RRP less than this and refurbished, as well as faulty, and yet £50 offered for this Nikon S8200 Coolpix? lol. Bizarre times indeed.
