Not other orchids, only this! And I don't even know why! Maybe because it is small and dainty, unlike other orchids, and at the same time, it is so vibrantly yellow and has the sunshine feel to it! Am I silly?? But I have never tried to grow it.. I should start now. Thank you, Autumn Belle, for reminding me about this. And thank you for linking my blog post in your side bar. Happy birthday to Helen of My Rustin Bajan Garden too.kitchen flavourshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13556865191279476910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1660561043857404056.post-30930613656580190292010-07-12T00:06:56.048+08:002010-07-12T00:06:56.048+08:00Those orcids are very beautiful!

I also have a dancing lady with flowers bigger than this one and has very sweet scent. It withstood long dry season and it's already 5 weeks and still there. <br /><br />By the way, i have long been attempting to open Helen's site but i always fail, it just stop after the front page. Autumn Belle, please tell her my greetings for her birthday and my problem in connecting to her blogsite.

Thank you ver...Floridagirl, Keats, Bernie, Rosey. <br /><br />Thank you very much for your visits. These 'Dancing Lady' oncidiums are one of my fave orchids. <br /><br />Tong sui means 'sugar water' when translated from Cantonese dialect. It is part of Cantonese (Southern China) cuisine. Tong sui is like a herbal drink with health benefits. We can drink it hot or cold. The vitamins in the papaya and winter melon will definitely reduce pimples, clear blokages and detox our system, hence giving rise to a good complexion.Autumn Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00818422090556602092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1660561043857404056.post-27691866452351129752010-07-10T10:04:30.454+08:002010-07-10T10:04:30.454+08:00Happy Birthday to Helen!

It is a bad combination that will make you sick. <br /><br />Rumphius also did not recommend taking durian with alcohol. To read from Wikipedia, click on my 'durian' link higlighted in red.<br /><br />Durian is considered a 'hot/heaty' food. So, the desert will help 'cool' down your body system.Autumn Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00818422090556602092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1660561043857404056.post-73759260872855924862010-07-10T06:51:03.235+08:002010-07-10T06:51:03.235+08:00Good Morning, Costas, Helen, Melanie, Rose Belle.
