Thank you. You can get a better view of the red ceramic pot if you'll go to my thread entitled Cattleya Noid. It's currently on page 2 of the Orchids in Bloom Forum. I purchased it at either Lowe's or HD. As for the black planter, it was purchased about 4 years ago, and my daughter thinks she got it at Target. |

Beautiful Blooms! 
(I was just as excited to see the green grass in the background as the beautiful blooms!)

Mostly weeds
Thank you. My back yard is mostly weeds. We had a 6 week dry spell last summer and, wouldn't you know it, my sprinkler system went down and the weeds took over. Time for me to do some intense yard work.....after I tend to my orchids, of course! |

Let's see, I guess I'm gonna have to call her "Alberta" because she was purchased at Albertsons....the last one on the shelf for $7.00.....and of course, with no name tag.  She was sitting on the shelf all by herself (looking kind of lonely and thirsty) and I couldn't resist. This one has much smaller leaves and blooms than the rest of my collection. Probably a miniature of some sort. She's the only Phal I have that's planted in a 4" pot.

Thank you Susanne, but the credit goes to my daughter. At the time she gave me the stand I actually had no plants (orchids or other varieties) that fit in the holders and no place to put it. Then I purchased this home (mostly for the screened back porch feature) along with a few orchids and, suddenly, I had an orchid display. I love the stand and it has become a focal point on the back porch. I contacted my daughter yesterday and told her about all of the compliments I had received from OB members and thanked her again.
