I recently went on vacation to Florida and got the chance to visit an orchid nursery called Ritter Orchids. I have to say that i was so excited when i got there because i knew i was going to buy something. I walked into one of the six greenhouses and saw nothing but vandas. Roots everywhere. It was like vanda heaven. I looked around for a bit and a completely dead phal caught my eye.It might have been dead but there was a ton of life at the tip. A keiki. It was actually 2 plants. Tom's wife immediatly took the plant, cut it off and potted it for me. I looked around at the vandas because i had been wanting one for a while. I asked her if she had any mini vandas, and she took me to the motherload. She picked up a beautiful purple one, and right then i knew I had to have it. It has three beautiful blooms on it and four long plump roots hanging from the bottom. I got that for only $15, which if i had ordered it from the internet would have been about $50. I went to the front desk to pay and i asked her how much i owed her and she said $15. I got the phal keiki free. After i paid she told me to wait a minute. Little did i know that she would bring back three more keikis, two dens. and another vanda. All for FREE. I have to say that I can't wait to go back to Florida because i will definately go back and purchase more orchids. If you are ever in Florida you have to visit RITTER ORCHIDS. They are so nice. They are located in Kissimmee. All i can say to them is Thank you all so much.
