What's Looking Exotic 2026
Coelogyne cristata Correa Pink Mist has been flowering for months Dendrobium kingianum. I have 2 pots, sourced from different suppliers (accidentally). This one flowers far more than the other.

Miracle Gro MPC - avoid!
Well done @cactus_girl Have to say I also recently bought MPC from the local Wickes store and I wasn't too thrilled with it. It is getting more difficult to find a decent MPC these days tho.
