We believe that most of the pleasure is in the journey - in the making and creating, even if in a simple way.

Moth Orchid

I have not had much luck with nurturing moth orchids (Phalenopsis). I suspect the position has been the problem. Ironically, I have given several as presents and been told that these are all thriving.
The common problems tend to be: over-watering; too direct sunlight and using usual plant compost.
Any advice would be welcome!

Simple Pleasure

Our blog and book are very much about simple pleasures, how you can brighten your day in an easy way - for instance take someone a present like this, instead of chocolates or wine...one second thoughts those too!
