Incredible well done to you all and that goes for those still at the school it’s going to be a job to beat this in london
You will need a bigger van to get all these prizes home Simon! I am so pleased for you. You have worked so hard and really deserve them. Well done.
Congratulations on your beautiful display and for the diversity and quality of the individual orchids in the display. Well deserved.
What an incredible achievement. Display looks amazing and the plants, wow, stunning. Simon you must be so proud of the team! Congratulations to you all.
Thanks Zoe – we have had so many visitors amazed by our large Coelogyne cristata and it has been great to point out that in the 26 years we have had it growing at school (from a tiny plant) it has been cared for by many generations of students, and it is only because all of these students have cared for it so well that it looks so brilliant today.
And the Epidendrum parkinsonianum, what a plant that has become! I used to hate it, but it looks incredible!
Haha – yes it didn’t always look this amazing
What an amazing amount of fantastic plants, what good plants people you all are!
Well done to to everyone in the orchid project.
Annie
