Main colours are White, Pink, Yellow and some greens. Depends on what is available at wedding time. One wedding had white Dendrobiums imported from South East Asia as bridal stuff and potted Phalaenopsis as Table Decorations. All purchased from Sydney Flowers markets. Suggest you visit Sydney Flower Markets to see what is available. Blueish greenish Phals might be as scarce as hen's teeth.

regarding "Glad to hear from you , Henry. How are you? " At my age one activity per day is typical. Regarding my roses: they were neglected this season. Of the 60 that I kept (mainly my seedlings) I normally would record when they flowered and often take pictures for my seedling notebook; but this year I completely stopped - I have to walk with a cane and doing so in the garden is difficult.

The bottom line is you did bring in someone licensed who confirmed it had all been done correctly. I would just move on, he's out of your life now and you do not have to deal with him any longer.

I don't remember my first plant ever but the first plant of my current collection is a Sansevieria trifasciata. It all started when I was about 10 living with my mother. We had a dining room but it was never used for dining. It had a Southern exposure and my mother had it filled with shelving and tables that were covered with so many different plants. I do remember attempting a Kalanchoe blossfeldiana in my bedroom with a tiny North facing window. Didn't work out so well but I was hooked and ever since I have always been trying different plants and having a blast. I've had to restart my collection a couple of times because of moving but my first plant of this collection - the Sansevieria - is about 9 years old now. I don't have an exact count on how many I have right now. I'd say about 30-40 but I have about 80 seeds planted and another couple hundred waiting in the wings so...ya know...the addiction can get bad and never lets go but I wouldn't have it any other way. Life is kind of empty without plants.
