Lowe's Has New Orchids

[Sandrilene]

Lowe's (the home improvement chain store) has new types of orchids in then I've seen in the past. I don't think its against site policy to let you guys know that if it is you can remove this post and i`m sorry. Anyways they have Oncidium Orchids in a bunch of different colors some actually are not NOIDs and they have starter ones too and catts and of course a variety of phals and dens. The one where I live it looked like it was a brand new shipment because none of them were bad looking. I would have got a couple if my husbands job hadn`t been disolved a week ago so now we have to be careful with our money til he finds something else. i just figured since its sunday some of you might have the free time to check out your lowe's mine can`t be the only one that got new plants.

Yeah Lowe's kind of surprised me with it's selection. Our local one had native plants for like $2 and I got a little goodyera orchid And I don't think you're doing anything wrong, policy wise.

Gosh I must live in the only area without a lowes and I am betting even if we had one they would not carry the orchids in stock ....seems to be a orchid free zone here other than noid phals at wally world and home depo....and even home depo carries better-gro bag babies if you look at their website...but not here

Lame Colorado big box stores not ever having anything nifty....
Sounds like you guys get to have a lot of fun though!


Hope your situation improves, Sandrilene!

The one here has a few (forever) till they are brown last time I looked they had the same ones from Apr. or May .. All the Phals . at Lowes in town are Noids. I might look tomorrow I like the Better Grow bagged plants ..

Yeah, it's amazing oh much each store differs. There was a home depot in CT where my brother lived, and in the summer they had big Vanda hybrids and slippers and everything. It was crazy for a home improvement store anyway...

seems like everyone got orchids these days..IKEA just got more paphs. A maudie and a vini flame I picked up for 12 bucks each ,they bloomed in the plastic bag and one is got a broken neck and leans way over, the other ones shoe fell off when I got home.They are healthy with good roots and no ROT.. last time they had multi florals and sequentials...I still have them and they are growing like little bugs ona stick.

I say NO to anything Not a Paph..I feel like I'm evolving to kill more expensive plants.
