Default my trip to the garden center

Yesterday I went to the garden center to buy some orchid bark and a couple of pots. I looked for both items and could not find them. What I did find was a sign that said that all House Plants are 50% off. I went to the House plant section and what do I find...a pot of orchid gold! I went nutz. Got me 5 orchids and Im planning on going over there again today to wipe them out.

Are those 3 of the plants you got? Were they labelled? Good in any case, but especially if you've got full names!

Yes, they were all labeled. They are on clearance so they can make room for Christmas trees and decorations.

Great find, that's a nice Papilio you got there. Perhaps you should shop for bark more often
