Home Depot Charlie Brown
So, the big stores order boxes of these "bag babies" and they seem to to just languish. I see the same ones hang or lay for what seems like months sometimes. I got this one last fall marked down to like 7 dollars, nearly dead, no viable roots, wrinkled with dehydration. For some reason, it caught my eye and foolishly, I picked it up. It is a hybrid; Epilaeliocattleya Charlie Brown. I potted it up and rehydrated the starving little thing and it responded in a really vigorous way. Here it is after just a few months with a nice flower and a few more buds coming up. I mostly grow species, but I give this one cudos for resilance.
