Lowes Gem
I was in the local Lowes yesterday getting some things for my greenhouse
and decided to check out the plants. I don't usually get my Orchids from home repair stores like Lowes or Home Depot, but there is the occasional good buy. Wednesday was one of those days! I found a white Phal with two plants and three spikes in a six inch pot with leaves over a foot across. It was in oustanding shape and as I was checking out the roots, I found a name tag. To my surprise, I discovered I had a named plant that was awarded an AM as well. To top it off, the plant was priced at $14.95. I'm not a big Phal fan personally, but needless to say, I purchased this particular Phal. A picture of this gem is posted at A.B.P.O. Bob C. http://vchilder.home.netcom.com |

Bob C. http://vchilder.home.netcom.com My local Lowes usually has decent display of Orchids. Matter of fact it's time for me to make a trip to see what new stuff they have. I also have a local privately owned garden center that has some nice one's as well, albeit a bit more money. My local Home depot's indoor garden center sucks to high heaven. It's a cross from Marist college in Poughkeepsie,N.Y. HORRIBLE indoor center. |
