My very first orchid was a couple of Phals found in the thrash outside the same five star Hotel on 5th avenue where my roomate was working. While waiting for him on the staff entrance, I saw this nice chintz blue porcelain pot with dead flowers but the colorful butterflies on the sticks caught my eye at the very top of the large bin....My roomate was so embarassed that I had to climb inside the garbage bin and also rummage for a paperbag to put it in=in my dress pants and all....I was very happy when I discovered the plant was not dead....my roomate graduated and moved to Texas yet my phals are still staying with me flowering Noids that they are....giving me joy all these years

How interesting. Same situation here. After celebrating the Chinese New Year, many ppl will throw away their plants, and you can pick up many phals and other plants here this way too !!

My must have catt is one that i will never tire from looking at it, and it's a mini little hybrid with pastel colouring. It's quite unreal.
