Orchids at Loblaws :D

I was looking through the Loblaws flyer (grocery store in Canada) and found that they are selling oncidium and cymbidium orchids in stores. I'm in Toronto and can never find other orchids besides phalaenopsis. So I was excited to see them at my local grocery store However, the cymbidium orchids seem a bit pricey which are from $39.99 but the oncidiums are at a more reasonable price starting at $12.99. My mom told me she saw tons of oncidiums and huge cymbidiums there so I'll have to go check it out myself. Just wanted to share this with Toronto orchid growers, I'm not sure if it is the same for other Loblaw locations... So if you have a Loblaws near you you should check it out

Careful with those Loblaws oncidiums - I saw some patterns on the leaves that looked suspiciously like virus. I haven't seen cymbdiums, but they could just as easily be virused as well.

Thanks for the heads up!
