Really nice where did you see it?

Lowe's! I tend to stalk orchids at Trader Joe's, but after reading about "Lowe's rescues" around here, decided to finally check out what they have. I was totally thinking I'd find mostly noids and/or phals in mediocre condition, but turns out they had a lot of registered, "legit," more exotic appearing (and more expensive) oncidium alliance plants. It seems they contract (in my area) with Gubler's orchids. I also bought a Gubler's fine bark mix there which I like the best of any other mix so far...
I do still think TJ's gives you the best bang for your buck (have found a handful of gorgeous noids), but it means immediate repotting and more TLC, which I just don't have the patience for these days. I have saved many a rootless mini catt and killed 2 (gorgeous) milt seedlings from Trader Joe's...
