Onc. Dancing Lady bag baby
 
Stopped by Lowe's today and decided to take up my old bosses offer to get these orchids for .50.

This one is just perfect. Tons of healthy roots and five pbulbs. I can see one old flowering spike in the largest bulb and it currently has one new growth going.

Just so ya know, I staked it a little better so its not leaning to one side now. Little bugger is a lot heavier than I though.

Nice buy Josh. That pot is going to be way too small for the plant. These plants grow like weeds, you'll be repotting it in about 2 months.

Nice looking plant! I'd sure be taking up an offer like that too!

It was the only one I had that was bigger than the one it came in. Plus, I hope it'll dry out a little faster.

Also, the tag says onc grower ramsey on it. I was a tad excited when I wrote the title.

50c??? Wow! What a deal. You'll have to post some pictures when it blooms.

bballr4567 01-28-2012 12:26 PM

Yea, it is a deal for sure. Considering how much you would pay online plus shipping I was happy.

Any ideas on when it will bloom?

What a bargain! And Gower Ramsey is gorgeous. I used to have one and it was a very vigorous grower. When the plant gets large the sprays of flowers can be 5 ft or more.

5 ft???? Geez.

My wife still hasn't noticed the new plant. Lol

I got a oncidium sharry baby "sweet fragrance" at lowes and it cost me 2 bucks. But mine looks way worse. :(It's still fun to get cheep chids though. I dont know how they make any money on there plants but it's not my problem. I still like to rescue the little guys:biggrin:
