They mocked him by thriving and blooming more profusely than they ever had. He's dead now, but the orchids are expanding and really enjoying their freedom these last 2 years. PS, they are epiphytes, not parasites, they only get support from the tree, no nourishment at all excepting detritus.	R2x1 (4628)

Yes, the Mill has closed but will probably open again in the future (different owner). Stumble Inn is good but a bit out of the way. Really depends what you are wanting to eat. Just take note the local KFC is closed until end of Sept due to refurbishment (not that I care on iota). Thanks for all the advice people. Last night SWMBO tried to throw the bottled orchid into the rubbish (I left it on a piece of furniture and it left a water mark) and it was just my incredibly fast reaction that saved it from certain doom. I will replant/repot it, probably over the weekend. sarel	sarel (2490)
