Default Den. Pixie Princess

OK so this NEVER happens to me. We were at Lowes today shopping for a new water heater. I went back to the garden center looking for seedling trays for DH's tomatoes and what should I see? Den. Pixie Princess, name tag and all! I didn't even have to hem and haw. I snatched it up much to my DH's chagrin. He even made that face....kinda looks like this . The flowers are just starting to open on double spikes. I'll update as it starts looking better.

EXACTLY Naoki! Most of the time my Lowes doesn't even have orchids. On the rare occasion I have seen some they are about 2 days away from being tossed in the dumpster.

Congrats, Terri! I can't believe you found that at Lowe's!

I absolutely LOVE Pixie Princess! Wonderful morning fragrance, gorgeous flowers and long blooms! I got mine in January and it's still in bloom!

That is a wonderful flower for Spring. I always wanted to get. If it develops a nice fragrance please let usknow.

Nice find Terri and a two spiker also. The colors remind me of Easter and you found it just in time. I have not been able to identify the scent yet except to say it is very nice. Don't forget to sniff if you haven't already.
