Okay finally won one of these. The buyer who placed a higher bid 2 seconds before the ending bid I guess did not pay so I got it instead! Hurray!

These things are supposed to look so spooky! I feel like this will be one of the best halloween props next year!

The one I just bought is already in winter rest.

I'm beginning to wonder if your discovery of reliable ebay sellers is a good thing or not. Hehe. Looks amazing! Can't wait for you to get yours and have it bloom!

@Reliablefool I decided that after my last bid today that ends at nine I am done until next spring. I wanted to get the ones who have to have winter rest to see how exactly to pull this off. Especially in my area.

But as a partial on this one I have bid from several different sellers at least 5 times and always lost. Because bidding got insane. This one is actually larger than any of my other guys. So I don't feel bad for ordering this one. lol, plus halloween is one of may favorite holidays and this goes great with my monn. millenium witchcraft. lol.

Yeah, good luck Kindra with that "last one", I did try so many times this year to say that and it never worked, so I officially gave up last month, and whatever comes to my house, than be it!

No really my winter spot cant hold much more and I am running out of window sills. Especially with it starting to get cold here. And I still have several LARGE Buckets of flowers and plants that must be placed inside as well as placing my tortoises table and his cage in his new winter home as well lols.

So Yes I truly must stop myself I even stopped myself several times now when seeing a really awwesome oncidiums lol. Because again no more proper space in windows.

Space is an issue, I can not imagine how many orchids I will have once we move to the house with the garden:-)

When are you moving? lol, Because I can see it now....good thing you live next to an ocean and not a land locked place like me otherwise drought conditions could be an extreme issue for you lol!!

Not any time soon, we have still years left to pay off mortgage on our apartment:-) Good thing for now, otherwise I would go nuts with the orchids!
