I agree.

Yours look to be in good condition. You must have caught them just after their shipment arrived.

everyone and yes; I believe that this was a new shipment from this Monday. I usually pass by Home Depot on Wednesday and Fridays to see what my eye catches and what I can add to the collection. Both of the plants are putting out new growths and seem very healthy. There were still 2 more that I wanted but had to contain myself I'll get them soon though

Beautiful Roly!!!!!! Wow, you are hitting the jackpot. Maybe it's time to buy a lotto ticket. You are soooo lucky!
Al, I find that in Maine, it's Lowes who has started to stock Catts. I found some beauties last Lowes I was in (Lewiston). Couldn't buy anything... husband in close proximity. Christmas Tree Shop is also starting to carry Milt. Onc, and a few Zygo. Again....husband. You have a Lowes and Christmas Tree Shop where you are, don't you? Check it out.
Sorry, Roly, didn't mean to get off the main path here.

I've got 3 Home Depots closer to me than i've got a Lowes I've found some beauties at all of them specially Cattleyas but I haven't gotten them yet because they have no tag, but I'll get them soon with our without tag. They are calling my name

I would have done the same thing. For some reason the orchids keep calling out my name

My apologies too for going off track for a bit, I'll try to keep it short.
The last 2 times I've been to Lowe's they have had the same 4 very sick white phals. at regular price. Maybe next time. As far as I know the Xmas Tree Shop closed it doors. I'll have to check around.
H/D's plants come in on Tuesday here and I can never get there before Sat. so they are pretty well picked over. With the severe lack of places that carry 'chids everyone hits H/D during the week.
But.....I really need to stop
I have five on the way now.
Gads, I'm obsessed!

Al
Roly, those Catt's are screaming.........I can hear them from here!
