PSA: Worth a shot for those with Lowe's in your area
Not sure if anyone has done this. I didn't search the forums for a thread that already answers this question, but it might be worth bringing up again anyways.
I was super bummed this year that Lowe's wasn't carrying any orchids other than Phals. Last year I scored a ton of bag babies like Den. Spectabile, C. Volcano queen, etc... so I called their corporate office who contacted the stores, and they just called to tell me the new orders should be in stores in 2 weeks! That was suspiciously easy, so we'll see if they send any.
So, if you have a Lowe's that sells orchids in your area it might be worth a try. I guess because they weren't big sellers that's why they were discontinued this year.
A lot of people say this hurts the mom and pop orchid stores, but I don't have any nurseries in my area. The nearest one is Carter and Holmes which is about 2hrs away.
I'll update this thread if they hold true to their word.
