looking great John!
I can't believe 170 is half of what you used to have!
Love the accent too! Makes your voice sound quite calming!

Thanks Dan , he he he ,,, what accent ?? ha ah ha ;; when I just said to the wife you thought my voice was calming she had a good old laugh :mrgreen:
dont know what that's all about ?? , yer 170 sarrras was just to many for me to deal with, now still to many I think !! want to get them down to may be 50 or 60 pots , may be less , re-potting is the biggest hassle and keeping the water up to them in 40c temps in summer , ok thanks mate for your kind comments :D

Yes the amount of flowers I can contribute to a very mild winter I think and the previous summer, the plants I had put in winter sun actually has produced twice as many flowers as the ones that got less sun ?? interesting , all though our winters are cool , no snow or heavy frosts here , a lot may be half of our winter days have sun all day and day temps can get up to 15 c but mainly around 12 c and night time temps are 2 to 8 c , , the difference was very noticeable in deed . and it helped clear up the mealy bug problem on those plants too .
