Better Gro bag orchid

[flhiker]

This is the first blooming of a Better Gro bag orchid from Home Depot. Not very pretty but has a great floral scent. The label says Orange and Art shades. what ever that means. LOL

Great find! I wish our home depot got any orchids at all, but I've always wanted to try the bag orchids.

Not bad! Maybe it will improve the next time it blooms. Wish we had bag orchids here!

Art shade means just about what you see. Pastels that defy a specific description. It is a common usage for Dendrobium from Hawaii.

This is an orchid that will improve immensely over the next couple of flowerings.

Its a beautiful flower. Too bad, Home Depot in Manhattan dont sell orchids. Its a small hole in the wall that cant have a garden section...even the lumbers are just samples on a rack and is delivered from New Jersey.

Look forward to seeing what it does in its next blooms!.

Just curious but, I have been reading about these 'bagged orchids' available in the US & am curious to know what they look like 'in the bag'? are they bare root or potted etc? Would love to see a photo of one 'in the bag as bought' If any one has any pics?

My home depot only sells NOID phals. I've never seen anything else, as do some folks from the U.S. When I 'm feeling adventurous, I head to a nursery.

I don't have any pic's of them in a bag but the Catt's, Oncidium's, are usually in 2 1/2 in. pots and the Vanda's are bareroot. The bag's are about 12 inches tall and about 5 in. wide with a thin cardboard photo of whats inside. I kept the cardboard label but it doesn't look like the actual flower.

My home depot on occasion sell's species and named phals. Most all their Onc. and vanda's have names. You really can't beat the prices. Nursery's are great but can be little expensive.

Thanks for the info, and I hope your right about the next flowers.
