Great Orchid Finds @ Garage Sales...

This last Sat. I went to a garage sale/garden sale..... Instantly as I walked into the yard my eyes glazed upon 3 huge overgrown catts. The price was $10 for all 3. What?

Way to go!

I picked up a Cattleya type chid about a year ago at an estate sale directly across from my house! It was just lying across a shallow dish with nothing in it. I asked how much and got it for $2.00, dish and all!

I've always got my eyes open at garage sales and flea markets. I've picked up great supply-type stuff and gadgets to help with the care of the chids too at next to nothing prices.

That is awesome Susanne.. I also do the estate sales often and have gotten some stuff for cheap in this area.
Has your orchid bloomed yet?
