Nothing about the Royals

This thread is nothing about the Royal Family.

Here is a joke -

Helvetica and Times Roman walk into a bar.
“Get out of here”, shouts the barman, “We don’t serve your type in here”

And a pretty picture -

I’ve got one of those lilies and some creature has gnawed half the leaves off. It doesn’t flower anymore, either. I have a lot of orchids, on the other hand, and none of the creatures eat those,they do very well. They thrive on total neglect - my kind of plant.

Kate, can you tell me how to stop my peace lily taking over the dining room table please..I am hopeless with plants really, better in the garden, but this weedy plant I bought discount, keeps growing It looks healthy but I don’t know where to put it.I don’t want to keep repotting as it quickly needs another pot.

Ours used to flower but for the past year or so they both seem more intent on reproducing little plantlets around the edges.
I suppose I should repot them all.

One is in the utility room window, the other on the landing window, both largely ignored apart from watering.

I'm in the South East and my Helibore's have been flowering since before Christmas. Lovely, cheering plants at the dark time of the year aren't they.

I don't trust stairs. They're always up to something...
