THE MASDEVALLIA FLOWERS

Well nice to see it is not pink and is instead red cantred with white edges. There is a second one that will be different and does have different leaves even.

One type has a stem to the leaves while the other has either no stem or a very short one. There IS a similar family of Orchids to Masdevallia called Dracula. I kid you not on the name and that is the scientific name to the genus. Not familiar with what the actual plants looks like with the Draculas.

But the Dracula flowers have a similar look to the Masdevallias.

Cannot remember but these have a common name but it might be a double common name whereby another groupf of Orchids are commonly known as. This could be Jewel Orchid, like Ludisia, but might be Gem Common names are doubled up a great deal and maybe even tripled with the Obvious ones being Butterfly Orchid.

NEW ARRIVAL BRASSIA ORCHID

Possibly called or similar to Shooting Star. Need to check up on that.

Very pleasantly surprised at this one and particularly nice and I like the large Pseudobulbs it has and the flowers are similar to one called a Tahoma Glacier I should have bought last year but will order this year, 2014.

Flowers are unfortunately a little wilted and I cannot wait for this one to flower again.

NEW ARRIVALS OF MASDEVALLIA & CATTLEYA

Wow would you believe it?!

I have pondered about Masdevallias for some time, they are very nice but do not really look like Orchids and I do like that typical Orchid look that you get with Phalaenopsis, Dendrobium, Cymbidium and like that of another new arrival is the Cattleya!

Now I have never had much luck with Cymbidiums, flowering, and Cattleya, keeping them alive for more than a year?!?!

But then I have a completely different set up now to what I had then and just the light rigging with the powerful LED bulbs and the large 1 metre x 0.5 metre humidity tray.

So let us hope that the Cattleya lives and then I may go for a couple of species I like like amythystoglossa and aclandiae I think it was?

Unlike last year this year will see a number of arrivals to my home and these Orchid areas, at long last, lol.

MORE CREAM AND LESS WINE PHALAENOPSIS

My Wine and Cream Phalaenopsis seems to be losing its Wine and gaining some Cream?!

Looks better in my opinion, lol.

THE NEW ROOM

Right a year later than planned I have shuffled a few things around to make some space!

Now the corner of my living room has a new look and some more space for more things?!

Well a great deal will be happening in the coming months so I thought I had better be at least a little prepared for everything that will happen?!

LMAO!! OOOH YEAHHH!! :)

THE RETURN OF THE ANGRY WASP ODONTOGLOSSUM

Finally my mystery Odontoglossum has flowered!!

Onbviously this is a hybrid probably Odontoglossum and Miltonia from the shape of the flowers?

Now I had thought that this one was a wine red and white Orchid that I purchased from Tesco last year, err or year before lol?!

But I then realised that it was yellow and not white I realised it was an Orchid I refer to as the Angry Wasp, just my pet name for it you could say. Because it looks like a wasp and many types or Orchids are supposed to resemble a group of wasps hovering about on a breeze while giving of chemicals to make them appear to be wasps to, well OTHER real Wasps!

We can not smell it but it IS there and Wasps can and this way the Wasps go over trying to attack these Wasps to oonly result in the Wasp pollinating the Orchid flower. This is why many Orchids are not scented. Well noy scented to the human nose, no lol.

Anyway here is the first of a couple of videos I will do of thise one which has overtaken my Dondrobiums as being the earliest flowering Orchid in the new year.

Never thought that would happen and a couple od Dendrobiums do have buds.

I will also get back on my Orchid hunt this year and keep you posted.

Oh I almost forgot I have a few Orchids inbound too which are completely different to anything I have currently or have had previously.

Keep you posted on that front too.

TO FLOWER ORCHIDS AND AVOID GAS FIRES

A few pictures in case I forgot to post them up.

Have a few Orchids that are not far from flowering so at last soime activity on here and on my YouTube account will start to take effect, lol.

Dendrobium victoriae-reginae

Phalaenopsis Mini Hybrid spiking for the first time. As is the only other Phalaenopsis that I have not yet flowered. Many of my Orchids refused to flwer for a long period. This was me feeling sorry for an idiot and offereing my help which was not only taken but then abused in many ways.

That will not happen again I assure you. ;)

MINI PHAL SPIKE... This will be pink! Yes I know I am a guy but was the only bloody colour they had! Well yes I would have BOUGHT a WHITE ONE if they had one! LMAO!

These flowers went pure white and then died of before opening up completely. It also happened to the Dendrobium victoriae-reginae too and at the exact same time. There was a factor involved and this was a Calor Gas fire. I now do not use it as I did and moved it upstairs.

So just in case you think that a gas fire must be better because it will be warmer then no! Do not do it! Luckily it did not harm the plants themelves.

Since removing the gas fire from where it was to another floor one of the canes on my Dendrobium victoriae-reginae seems to have found some energy?! It seems to be growing up and will grow a bit more as the tip has two big leaves with two new leaves appearing next to them! You will normally get a new spurt of growth due to the pars of leaves appearing in nodes, which are normally at least an inch apart or more.

APOLOGIES OF THE PAUSING

Sorry for the gaps from time to time. I have had a battle with both my health and the NHS for over twelve years now. My health driving me nuts and the NHS constantly refusing to admit that I have one and telling me repeatedly that there is no such condition that matches my symptoms.

Now due to the fact that Doctors and Hospitals all like to deal with one thing at a time, oddly the same as the government and the DWP so your getting knowingly screwed, this has caused me considerable grief, pain, problems financially as well as he fact that dozens of realtionships broke down over the years.

Indeed it may be surprised to know that everything I state that I have achieved both on this blog and my others, the one on corruption will hurt your eyes that is for sure, I achoieved while suffering from this condition, including my degree!

I wrongly self diagnosed myself with something called Charcot Marie Tooth Syndrome and not only was this entertained by thge NHS, as they sent me for tests that were nagative and basically said 'oh well there is nothing else out there it can be' I then ran across the correct condition. AT the same time I was prescribed two drugs consecutively that in over 15 years were the first drugs to ever work on any of my pains. They were not non-steroidal ab=nti-inflammatories either and were Gabapentin and Amitriptyline. After a failed effor to say I was mad I was then kicked off my last GP surgery for insinating violent conduct. Bullshit basically and am now on my fourth GP with the same catchment area.

For the first time ever since I have liobved in this area my NEW and FOURTH GP offered an aover forties halth test to which I agreed. Just as well becuase I not only failed everything miserbale but they discovered an infection and a possible peoblem with my kidneys. I have had to have further blood tests amd now have to have an ultrasound on my kidneys in a few weeks, wonder if they will lie about this ultrasound like they did the last one?!

There is also an official complaint and as I had the excuse and have a blog about corruption in the UK government and public offices I approached the GMC expecting them to nothing, which is what I had hoped as it goes along with everything else I say about the UK. They did better than this and helped the GP kick off the register by showing him a letter saying that he was so rude, arrogant and lying to my face I wanted to break his jaw and likely will so if I was put through that again. Bein responsible I was not planning to return to such an imcompatent and arrogant twat who was really merely just a nobody dickhead, lol.

Ss as well as all this I have had to find a new GP, and then I was frefused my repeat prescriptions, which have all been wrong and screwing up my kidneys for years it seems now, to which it was hinted at bh NHS England that I would get my pills if I dropped my official complaint.

I said NO of course and unlucky for them I had already charged into the surgery and obtained the prescription, lol. I did wonder why they seem to have difficulty finding it and were holding back to giving it to me? I think they held the NHS to ransom because whatever my problem is they do not deem it their fault.

But it was and it is, though the NHS headquerters are much more to blame too. But to understand how that all works and how I provied it you would have to read my asaintcalledallnights.blogspot.com blog. It is all there too just so no one can get into any doubts or post any comments on there, despite one air-head doing that, lol. Hours of recorded audio of Doctors lying, most I prove by other means and one Doctor at Chase Farm Hospital being pulled to acount by me and admitting it on a recording. So arrogant and confident that he did not send the amended letter to my GP and sent the first one with lies?!

There are a great many Doctors and specialists with heads of departments that I have on tape and documents for and it is bo no means all, not even half of it, not even close. I have Police and Detectives doing the exact same thing along with Local Government and almost all Ombudsman.

Due to all this and the very recent fiascoes with people with public offices I have been a little rushed around. I also have held back from admitting for years that I am forgetful as many Doctors just roll their eyes at you and you just end up wanting to punch their over arrogant faces that suffer with deluisions of grandeur. This is because when you tryo to explain their errors and that tiy are just as intellgigent than they are they just shut you off mid sentence, which is of course RUDE. So they have brought much of this on themselves both what I have done and what I will do throught 2014.

As for this condition that causes me in the region of 110 symptoms, give or take 10, that I have Doctors repeatedly stating on tape does not exist?!

Oh well that would ne FIBROMYALGIA and for those that know me or used to know me it causes all my problems in all four limbs, feet, knees, shoulder and back/neck and is also behiond my skin conditions, night blindness and also even my heartburn. Which means I have only ever had ONE corrupt diagnosis off the NHS in 26 years and have been given the wrong pills all this time which is why the new GP looks concerned!

Oh yes and it causes short term memory problems too! Oh yes and it causes short term memory problems too?! Sorry...I just could not resist that one. But it does though so every GP I wanted to punch for roling theor eyes was in the wrong and I habe now proved myself correct as I stated all along for over 13 years.

Hemce all this has had a negative effect on anything I tried to start, c reate for myself or startung any careers. Just so that you know that when I disappear for a bit there is normally some good reason behind it.  I apologise fore my absences nevertheless.

Rest assured though that this condition that they have repeatedly told me does not exist does do and I have now found it. I also found that there is a large department for it at one of the most famous hospitals in the country, being Guy's Hospital, fancy that?

You may now be wondering the same things I have been asking myself since I found out...how the hell can so many GPs, Orthopaedics, Podiatrists, Rheumatologists, Physiotherapists, Head of Departments, Nurses, Back Specialists and Pain Consultants all not know about Fibromyalgia and what is catered for at Guy's Hospital?! HOW?!?!

Well they all do have one thing in common...

...they are ALL NHS and as I long stated on my corruption blog, the NHS is corrupt and has been lying to patients for bloody years.

By the way do not try to defend them if you was diagnosed with a condition that they cannot possibly state does not exist. Becuase that simply is not fair in all honesty. I cannot say that my living room is painted black because people will see when they come around that it is painted white.

But rest assured if you feel that you are being messed about then you are and I am living proof, as is all my proof, as to how and why they are doing it.

I am on the verge now of being referred to Guy's Hospital...so bloody well hopefully this blog and all my other blogs can resume to normal speed and if the NHS, the DWP and Enfield COuncil do as they are fecking saupposed to do the amount of work I will put into these blogs will grow expomnnentially, of that I assure you.
