Me too!
I buy a healthy flowering plant for $20 and it will live for about 4
months.
I figure $5/month is a reasonable price for enjoying those beauties.
They pose nicely for me to photograph them too.

There are two large orchid growers near me that sell at the farmers
markets, blooming Phals in 4" pots are $8. It seems like every office
and home has a couple of orchids.


Interesting! Thanks for the tip.
I have a friend, living in Prunedale, who plans to visit me in January.
I'll ask her to check the Orchid growers for some bargains, and bring me
a few.
