  1. Long shot, but does anyone have decent photos of these marbled panels by Thomas Kershaw that are on display at London's Victoria & Albert (V&A) Museum?

    Or know a place they could be sourced? (NB. I have contacted the V&A directly as part of my search, and I'm waiting for their reply.)

  3. Misc. Epidendrums & others from the greenhouse. Notable: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnolia - 'Joy', the second best selling perfume in the world after Chanel No. 5, is derived in part from the essential oils of champaca flowers. The vernacular name "Joy perfume tree" comes from this.

  5. Getting into these V&A videos now. The needlework and design in this suit are excellent. It belonged to Lauren Bacall. Might steal the idea of a chain too - brilliant. #sewing #VandA #Museums

  6. I am always intrigued when I find this for "my" languages.

    Not telling you what term it was. All I am going to say, is that it forms a prominent part of this #QI episode and the #VandA seems to have a department for this 🤭

  8. Of course, there was the obligatory question about my sexual preferences. Why on earth they need to know where I like to insert myself is beyond me. Why does that matter when looking at a scrap of paper with some writing on?

  12. Morning All

    So the V&A sent me a questionnaire. The mad impressionable fools!

    I think the attached screenshot says it all, really.

    "You'll need to leave your coat and bag behind so that we can be sure you haven't nicked anything!" 🤣 👨🏻‍🎤

  16. My violet vanda is blooming! It's the only vanda I have, so it's a pleasure to see it bloom 🥰

    Also, in pic 2 you can see how it's just hanging in a shady place. This plant's roots seem to really just want maximum exposure to air and water - no soil or moss or roots wrapping themselves around a tree. I'd be interested to see how this plant grows in the wild...Maybe it just hangs in the branches in the canopy.

    It looks pretty healthy, so hopefully it likes this spot. It basically gets no direct sunlight and seems happy.

  20. "People and places that taught #Dundee"

    Among others including #DundeeUni, founded in 1881 "promoting the education of persons of both sexes and the study of Science, Literature and the Fine Arts" * , then a sub-college of St Andrews, independent university status by royal charter in 1967.

  21. This vanda orchid that I moved to a new spot a couple months ago is blooming! 🥰

    I'm not sure what kind it is, but maybe it's in the vicinity of a vanda tricolor or vanda luzonica? It's very cheery!

    I'm happy that it seems to like its new spot up in the crook of a very tall hibiscus, with roots covered partially in some moss and "canopy mix" (ie, whatever fell from higher in the canopy). For epiphytic orchids, their roots want a good mix of air, water, and shade/cover (without being totally covered).

    Pic 1 shows the blooms
    Pic 2 shows how I have it set up in the crook of a large hibiscus
