It's amazing how you get sucked in. We now stop at wal marts outside our
home county just to see what orchids they have!

For a person who has been only to one orchid show and no greenhouses, I
keep finding a lot of interesting orchids for my house at Wal mart.
These are from a recent vacation to Tulsa Oklahoma, at a wally world
just across the street from Oral Roberts University.

While the quality and variety of plants at big box stores such as Lowe's
and Home Depot (can't speak for Walmart as I haven't seen theirs) has
certainly gone way up in the past few years, it is usually the case that
they are healthiest when they just arrive at the store as they either
don't know how to care for them or just don't do it. However, there is
far more variety at a show sale (especially like a regonal conference)and
as well many types of plants that are not available at the big box
stores.
