Ok, so I never go to Lowe's or Home Depot for orchids because in my area, either the selection is horrible or the orchids are in such bad shape (root rot, buds blasted) that they're not worth the $25.
Well, I went to HD on Sunday for something, I don't remember what
, but it doesn't matter because when I walked in the front door they had 2 8-foot carts full of the most beautiful phals for only $15 bucks a peice! Not only that, but the buds were all intact, the roots were in pristine shape, and the medium was fresh! I was on
Needless to say, I bought 3!!
(photos below) They're all NOIDs, but I don't care - I'm going to email the vendor and see if I can get Id's.
1st photos: I've always wanted a white phal, but I love this one because the back of the petals have a hint of pale green and pink.
2nd photos: What can I say? Love at first sight.
3rd photos: See above.
I just love the white on the edge of the petals and the color is actually a darker maroon in person.
I hit the jackpot at Home Depot last weekend!!!
The yellow one is my favorite. It's all in the timing when it come to buying orchids in big box stores. You have to go just when they get a new shipment!

My partner told me I was actually supposed to stop at two
and unfortunately, no, they only had phals.
