disposable orchids
I received a nice phalaenopsis from my family today for my birthday.
The attached tag (from KB aka Klassic Beauties aka Kerry's Bromeliad Nursery) contained accurate culture information, and it even referenced the AOS website "for advanced growing information." But the back of the tag disturbed me. It featured a tombstone icon marked with an orchid flower and the letters "RIP", followed by this caption: "Plants can be discarded when no longer flowering. It's okay. We'll grow more!" Imagine the outcry if a pet store sold their product with similar labeling: "Cats can be discarded when no longer kittens. It's okay. We'll grow more!" I'm indignant!
