Lowes Bag Baby...

[AuGrower]

Sorry I wasn't trying to make myself sound more confusing than usual. No it did not say they were on the supplied info but I did find this.
» Blooming Size

This is the growers info page I think and that is the only bagged orchids they offer.

Hi gang--

Well, the Lowes bag babies struck again....I found the Bllra. Marfitch 'Howard's Dream' several of you mentioned, bunch of catt hybrids, B. little stars and yellow bird, and (drum roll) two C. amethystoglossa.

Unfortunately, the turnover in my local store is relatively slow, so all the plants were quite dry and the yellow birds were showing yellow leaves and leaf drop. But the bllra was in good shape....So I let it follow me home. A good soak and repot (into bark rather than the tightly packed sphag it was in) and it looks much happier....I'm tempted to go back for an amethystoglossa, but there are other orchids higher on my list, and let's face it, the windowsills and shelves in my house are filling up fast....

oooh why cant the stores around me have bag babies -.- home depot, meijer, walmart, are the only stores i found by me to have orchids. beside a local grocery store having them one time. but all the stores only stock noid phals. meijer had burrageara stefan isler lava flow once few months ago, which i got, however i lost it not long ago. id love to find another but it seems hard to come by even online. well i lack the funds for the time being anyway......sorry, ended up rambling lol anyway id love my local stores to carry tagged orchids....and in more variety then just phals lol

I've found that the selection and quality of the bag babies (not to mention plants in general) varies widely from store to store within the Lowes and Home Depot chains, so it may be worthwhile to check in more than your home town.

Case in point: my hometown store takes good care of their plants, but the turnover is slow and the selection relatively limited (we're a small town). The town where I work is larger and the selection better, but plant care is marginal. Once I get to Columbus (an hour away) some of the stores have the selection and care combo that makes for some great plants.

Good luck!
