It has not yet been mentioned on here the arrival of Simon’s new van. After saying our farewells to the old van which has taken ourselves and plants to many shows, Simon has brought a bigger van. The van is bright yellow hence the name ‘Buttercup’ and I’m sure we will now have no trouble finding it in car parks! This larger van has been very useful in the transportation of our huge pile of wood to Hampton Court as well as some of our monstrous orchids including Prosthechea radiata and Aerides houlettiana.
