Yes, I've been a bit 'excessive' lately. Hope I'm not setting a bad example but I just can't help myself. AND, I know another Aussie local that's been worst than me over the last year......... Christian, where are you?
Is there a NBA (Nepenthes Buyers Anonymous) forum around here?
Hey look... I don't spend money on cigarettes or fast cars, I drink much less than I used to (over the nightclub scene) and almost have the house paid off (Yeee Haaa!), so why not indulge myself a little. There could be worse vises! In fact it's not even a vise... It's THERAPY! I wonder if I can claim the expenses as medical deductions
Seriously though... I'm OK on room for now but give another good growing season and that'll change very quickly, even if I don't add many more plants. Plus I have many of the plants I really wanted to get this year so it's 'almost' (just a few more) time to sit back and enjoy watching them grow.
Now, where can I fit another glasshouse?
On the Diatas issue. I’m not fully up to date with all the owners and suppliers names but the plants are all from BE. However, I think they were in quarantine for about 3 months. I have NO idea of the conditions they were kept under but they are all certainly in a ‘fragile state and going to take a little TLC to get settle in.
As a side note, I hope I have not stepped on any toes. I know it’s been an issue here a few times about promoting some/other suppliers. That was not my intent here or in any post. It’s a bit harder for us Aussies as we can only buy from local suppliers, who in turn have either propagated the plants themselves or brought them in from one of the overseas suppliers (as in the case of the Diatas and its companions). So apologies if I did and I kind of changed my post a little as to not be too blatant.
Aaron.
