I have a small child safe water feature but the pump did not survive winter. I was considering puchasing a small solar panel pump, does any one have any knowledge of the pumps, are they any good, will they work in our English climate? or should I just stick to a plug in pump?
Seaside Claire: Solar pumps are only really any good with very small water features; what the gain in environmental purity they lack in poke! Venetia: Orchids are not really my area of expertise, I'm afraid, but black spots on a yellowing leaf does not sound terribly healthy.

I used to love Kew Gardens when I was a little girl, and took my children when they were children, but I live nearer to Wakehurst so am a regular visitor there instead, also visit Wisley at times,how ever our Horticultral group visit Kew & Wisley yearly and I take the oppotunaty to take in these outings when I can.
The other evening I was searching through the stations on tv, when I spotted a documentary on BBC4, titled: ‘How Britain Got the Gardening Bug’. I thought this would be great to watch. They approached the subject from gardening in the days of World War 2, right up to the present. Percy Thrower was there as was Geoff Hamilton, but there was a glaring omission from their array of celebrated gardeners. As Germaine Greer warbled on about the philosophy of the whole thing, I began to wonder, have they forgotten Geoffrey Smith, one of the finest gardeners of the early 1980’s. As far as I could see, poor Geoffrey Smith, was omitted from the programme. Well I liked Geoffrey Smith even if some cannot remember his name. How Britain Got the Gardening Bug, BBC4, 29th March 21:00. Please repeat some of his programmes for us who really enjoyed their whole charm. http://jonathanasmyth.blogspot.com/
