Our local HD discounts their out of bloom 'chids. Sometimes you can find

nice deal. Not too long back we picked up a Phal. amabilis for $6.


Our local home depot is so incompetent with plants that they can manage
to kill rosemary and thyme.
If you don't look through their orhids the same day they are delivered,
you're likely to find a pot of slime or a crispy critter.


This is a problem with their small bagged catts. If I don't get there
within a week or two they're crispy critters. :-( They keep their orchids
right where they get blasted with cool dry air when someone enters the
greenhouse. They dry out and no one waters them.

I actually managed to quench the orchid purchases while waiting for
my wife's house to sell (Okay, we did intend to drop by a local grower on
father's day, but he keeps very short hours on Sundays).


We all need a 10 step program............

to the strain... much like attacking a tank with a wiffle bat
