Clearance aisle strikes again! New phals

[lauraeli]

I swear, every time I walk past the clearance plant section, new plants hop in my cart and follow me home! I got a giant cat palm, and these two phals :-)

The orange one was only 5 dollars. The white one is my favorite. It is huge compared to the other ones for sale. It has roots going everywhere! I guess nobody bought it because somebody broke both flower spikes and there are only two flowers left on it.

Lauraeli,
I too find plants jumping into my cart. Lowes is good for that. The usually have a small table full of broken, and no one wants me orchids and others that need a home.

They had one that was a dark purple/red. I really like the color, but I passed it up because most of the roots were dead. I couldve brought it back to health, but I already have Stubby, my one-root wonder to take care of lol.

Holy cow... Teach me your ways! I've never gotten an orchid that nice for that price. In fact I've never gotten an orchid for that price.

The Orange one is Phal Surf Song! All of the lowe's near me got these this week. I got mine for 9$ full price, which is still not a bad deal.

I dont know. I was just sitting around, and I thought, the orchids are clearanced; Im going to go buy one. So I went to the store, and sure enough, they were. Psychic I guess. ;-)

Anyway, i think prices are regional. They were 50% off. Though Ive never seen them clearanced while still so much in flower. A lot of the ones left 'looked' nicer (more flowers). But I went by flower color and root health since I dont intend to throw them away after the flowers are gone.

Thanks :-) nice to have an ID.

The Orchids at Lowe's that were sickly were $4.00

Help me out here guys. Trying to ID the white one. I looked mine up on the grower's website. There were many similars, but 'snow appel' seems the closest match.

The first picture is one I found, it is listed as 'snow appel'. The second picture is my phal. The only difference is in the center- the back petals. Mine has speckling there, theirs does not. Otherwise it seems spot-on. What do you think?

(Also wondering if it is misspelled on grower's website, and should be 'snow apple'...)

Looks like phal snow apple!
