Just brought box from TOF home, getting to balcony now. And I just wen to Home Depot to return few things, and when passing through garden center, as always, they had brand new open unpacked box of bag babies, and I just jump on that - no one was actually unloading it at the time, and it was full, mixed - and found 3 amazing finds, so happy for it, will post everything later this evening when done:-) So, pretty sure good day today!

I can recommend Smiley, Tommy, great plants and she's super sweet. If you're up here for vandas you should also check out Goodwin Orchids in Leesburg, just north of Clermont. They also have some beauties.
Weren't you looking for phaius earlier? EFG is in Deland, near Daytona Beach off the highway from Orlando.

HD BAG BABIES??? You should have them as well, these orchids hanging in the BAGS on the side??? But today it was extremely happy occasion, never ever did I see open unpacked box of these babies, and I did score some pretty rare orchids before, but today got something FROM MY LIST for $11.99, you can not beat that! I'm really today behind my schedule, so I will actually write about my bag babies tomorrow plus pictures and also pics of order from TOF and terrariums, however FYI I scored today Beallara Marfitch (THIS ONE I REALLY REALLY WANTED), than Schomburgkia, and also Epilaeliocattleya Charlie Brown. They had in the box while bunch of vandas, and Cattleyas, but I was going for rare ones that I have not ever seen there and that I wanted! Each only $11.99, and since they just arrived, pretty good condition, Schomburgkia had some issues inside the pot, but cleaned it and mounted it anyway, so the mix and pot went to garbage already:-) I think I did score really good today! Tomorrow pics:-) AND THEY ARE GREAT SIZE!!! much bigger than ones I sometimes receive from online sellers! As I said, these 3 were THE ONLY ONES in the whole box, and I was really lucky that some worker brought it and left it open unpacked, I am sure in few hours if they were handing they are gone - mean these 3 pieces!:-)

Many Thanks, and I got already 2 of Phaiuses, I have no patience, so of course I had to get it right away, more than month ago:-) I will definitely go there in winter, but now I am totally done, I do not think I even have space for the ones that are on the way, I truly went over this year, big time:-)

 your off to a much better start than I was 4 years ago...Ive had to move 3 times to make room for all mine. I got the 8x6 greenhouse in april then moved and now I wished I had gone for the 8x10. When I get my new home next year (orchid lords willing), Im going to build me a 14 x 20. Ive learned 14 x 20 is just about the limit one small man can take care of without being overwhelmed...
I think for 1 person about 200 to 300 plants is all you can get to in 1 day 
Tommys lights are on but all you see in the windows are orchids
