Hehe
Here at least, it can vary what they have - sometimes mostly noid Phals, noid Dens and Cyms - other times there's more variety, with orchids from other genera even having tags.

They had some noid phals from the local parks department here! Apparently our local parks department grows some orchids in the conservatory here and they deliver some to Trader Joe's once a week, which is near the conservatory in question.. and today just happened to be delivery day! Noid at all, but they looked very healthy and came from a local source, so I would think they would be hardier in the local climate than a phal that came from a hardware store, right?

Just realized that I am totally hijacking your thread. Sorry about that! Did I mention how much I LOVE and admire your beautiful oncidium?
