Default Saved a Phrag at Home Depot, today!

I drive 30 mi. to work, everyday, so I keep an eye on the Depots on my route for the occasional nice orchid. I saw this poor, thirsty thing eyeing me from the corner. I've never seen a Phrag at the ones that I visit, and it looked like it needed me, so now it has a new home.

Phrag Andean Fire x Phrag. besseae 'Inca Fire'

P.S.
How can you say no to a face like that?

A Phrag at Home De(s)pot? And that's a good hybrid. I've also noticed that Trader Joe's has some good-and very cheap-paph/oncidium integenerics/phalaenopsis. Got a complex Vuylstekeara and a fragrant Phalaenopsis for $7.95 each.

Excellent find

Home Depot near me had a firecracker special for the 4th of July. One of the phrags they had for sale is your new plant, Phrag Inca Fire ... it is a cross of Phrag Andean Fire x besseae.

You don't! I'm amazed at hearing of a Phrag at HD!
