Bargin Orchids

[Ranchnanny]

Well I just can't pass up a bargin when it comes to Orchids...I went to the local Fred Meyer in Redmond to buy a birthday gift but I always go through the plant/garden dept. first. That most often is a mistake cause I always come home with something that resembles an orchid...
Fred Meyer has a habit of marking down all blooming orchids once the flowers die off. They had a great display of blooming orchids but I was looking for the bargins. At the end of one aisle there they were and some were still blooming. Two Onc. where sitting there saying take me home they were reg. priced at $19.99 but marked down to $5. One of them had wrinkled bulbs the other I could not find anything wrong with it. Sooooo I took them home. I know one is an Onc. but not sure about the other.
I have justified buying these since I have lost several. That makes sense doesn't it?

Thanks - Sheridan

Very awesome find Sheridan! And yes, you totally have room for more if a few others died!

Sheridan,

The red (?) one looks like my Wilsonara Hot Spot but I can't see it very well. I really like the yellow one.

Great find Sheridan. I would have grabbed them up too. The pbs look quite healthy

It's either that or dusting around the spots where those dead ones once sat and, who wants to dust, right? They all look to be in great shape. That Oncidium is huge and that first one is very interesting. Looks like Encyclia cochleatum or something with that cross, maybe?

Enjoy your new additions!
