Peach State Orchids

[jkofferdahl]

I wasn't sure if I should put this here or in the Vendor Feedback area. Sorry if this is wrong.

I drove over to Peach State Orchids, near Atlanta, today, about an hour from my house. My daughters came along, and we had a great visit. The younger daughter liked their friendly greenhouse cat, while my older daughter was absolutely charmed by their VERY large Iguana, Igor. I focused on the orchids, of course.

Their selection was really nice, and crossed a lot of genera. I stuck with the Phals, of course, though was tempted elsewhere. My personal preference, as I've said, is for Phal. species, yet of the five plants that adopted me only one is a species, a really nice, healthy mounted P. schilleriana. The others I picked up were Phal Sogo Grape (in bloom), Dtps. Monho's Princess (in bloom), a black Phal (in bloom) where I managed to get one of the few without an ID and so need to call them to get the cross, and a rescue Phal NOID they told me to just take, and which, though looking stressed, is perfectly sound and will recover into a nice plant.

All in all, I walked out spending under $70! Can't beat that.
