[/COLOR]*oncidium twinkle.

Is it Cymbidium Cherry Cola 'Geyserland' your thinking of?
Cause that's the tag I just found in the pot.
Hahaha no... wouldn't it be cool if cymbidiums could come that small?

I'm happy I'm not mistaken on the size.
Isn't it gorgeous?

It was twice as much as their normal cymbidiums honestly.
But I like it.

Their normal ones all have standard sized flowers. Most of the plants though are mini. Resulting in smaller plants that have a low flower count but bigger flowers.
This one had proportionate flowers which I like much more.

That is beautiful, I really like it and would have gotten it myself.

Now there are amaryllis and poinsettias everywhere.
After this Christmas bonanza is over, TJ and the Whole Foods will carry cymbidiums I think.

Stores in the flower district already have cyms.

All are standard giants. lol

Ah yes. I love the holiday season but it seems my local orchid selection suffers in its hands.

Interestingly Trader Joe's is the most expensive place for me to buy an Cymbidium. Twice as much as Homedepot with the same selection.

A whole week, Oh man I bet you were sweating that out, I would have been.

[NYCorchidman]

You are funny!

Anyways, TJ and WF are the cheapest places for cyms here at $29.99 per pot. I don't buy any more because of the quality issues. plus they also suffer cold I guess. Each time I bought, they dropped buds like crazy. I got my money refunded each time. then decided to never buy them, but just enjoy cymbidiums as occasional fresh cut flower.

Even flower district charge about 50-70 per pot (not necessarily of higher quality) and you can only imagine how much they will cost once they land at my neighborhood florist. lol

Hell no! hahahaha

Nice one, Ordphien!

If you have a Costco (and membership), and don't care if they are noids - very cheap, and nice, Cyms. Bigger than what I've seen at TJ's or home depot (multiple spikes - I've gotten Cyms with 3 & 5 spikes) for less than $20

It's was lightly fragrant at first. But with each passing day the fragrance got stronger and stronger.
I'll be sure to check yours out! You always have the most lovely blooms.

I was! It was incredibly nerve wracking. I felt a little safer because of its price

Sheesh. I wouldn't pay that either.
Here a standard Cymbidium is $15 at homedepot.
Then during blooming season Trader Joe's and the others get them in.
Homedepot remains the cheapest and the highest quality. During bloom season their cymbidiums are reduced to $10.
Trader Joe's is $20 but the quality is very iffy as you stated. The only time I wanted one was the one time I had no money.
It was a white mini with pendant style spikes.

This cherry cola was $30. I think in part because of the ugly decorative pot it came in.
I couldn't imagine paying those prices n
