Another wet day so the garden centre was my destination.. 

Early in February I received some garden gift vouchers as a birthday present. I wanted to put one towards an orchid, but each time I looked they were the wrong colour (I wanted deep pink/purple), had no buds, had too many straggly roots etc etc. 

New, more expensive ones came in during March (in time for Mothers Day) and I guessed that at some time they would come down in price. Today was the day I bought one. The photo is of it still in it's packaging ....... I preferred the effect over those I took later.  

A BT engineer has been promised for Friday morning.
