Scored yesterday at Home Depot!
Was at Home Depot yesterday to get some unrelated stuff when I spied a woman from the plant supplier watering some japanese maple trees out front.
We struck up a conversation and the next thing you know she leads me to the flower tables and loads a plant carrier with 6 orchids and hands it to me!
I ask her how much she wants and she tells me to go ahead and take it because she cannot sell the plants after the flowers are gone.
I got 4 in 6" pots and 2 in 4" pots.
Only two had names
1. Phal Christina
2. Achy breaky x phal fufi
roots all look great with lots of new growth!

You must have the face of a kind and honest person...for the grower to have trusted you and given you the plants for caring. Its good karma and you also posess a charitable heart to share your good fortune to others.
