my Lowes finally got some intergenerics and others. I'm going to apply to work there, I swear. I got a seriously giant Cattleya, (Pink Empress), with a huge bud. I measured it at 14 inches from the top of the 6 inch pot, a Huge Bellaria Tahoma Glacier in a 6 inch pot (19 inch leaves), over potted, with P-bulbs the size of my palm, and a No-ID Cymbidium. The theme color was pink I guess. I do not believe the size and health of these plants!
The vendor is Gublers Orchids of Landers, California. Any word on them, good or bad? The plants are amazing. Tahoma glacier was packed a bit randomly, and if I had not known how to repot it would have been lost (slight pleasing scent by the way). And I had no Idea how big a Cattelaya could get. I loved them before but now I am smitten.
I am raising my standards. No discount orchids. No more on line buying of plants I have not seen.
