New phal noid

[Daethen]

I did it again. I went to Wallyworld yesterday and here was this lone survivor of the Christmas orchid massacre. Well, I steered my cart a little too close to her and she jumped in when I wasn't looking. Actually I had my 3 yr old daughter along and when I picked it up she said "it's ok if you get it, Mom." How much more encouragement do you need.





I didn't even check the roots until I got home. Pleasant surprise!



This makes phal number 27. Do you think I am addicted? Oh, she was half off!

[Paul Mc]

Not as addicted as some, lol... But yes, you are! Enjoy the illness like we all have!

Great find by the way!

Sorry, I can't help on i.d. though.

[Mikeg]

White Phals are the best!! Great find!!

[WhiteRabbit]

very nice! I love that your daughter told you it was ok - how could you refuse that?

[RosieC]

Oh, I know that type of addiction

Good roots on it so it should do well for you

I think orchids use humans in some sort of symbiotic relationship. We look after them and in exchange, we get to enjoy them.

[Daethen]

I think that makes the orchid smarter than the human.

[Vanda lover]

That could be! They do always sucker us into buying them.

[Daethen]

Buying them, watering them, feeding them, etc.... Ah well, we get to enjoy the blooms. And to me the time it takes to care for them is ME time.

[Vanda lover]

Yes! I agree! During the summer I love to garden and enjoy our koi pond, but during the winter the orchids are my garden. They sure do brighten up the winter!
