Any other stores like Lowes that might have Orchids?

i occasionally find orchids with actual tags in them at home depot;
they're usually not in great shape though. i think it really depends
on the location of the store and its proximity to orchid
nurseries--they'll carry local stuff.

to wit: at a not-too-local home depot last week, they had a bunch of
very nice looking plants with real tags and a nursery name on them
(and some with no tags but little blue ribbons on them claiming they
were AOS awarded. um, yes.); i of course had to get the untagged
harlequin phal with some fuzzy white stuff on it and that frankly
looked like it had crown rot, but it was one of those "oh WOW!" things
so i got it anyway. (did the HP, alcohol and ultrafine routine on
it while repotting; it hasn't dropped dead, and the black spotty stuff
hasn't spread, so here's keeping my fingers crossed.
