I went by Lowes yesterday for some supplies and noticed that they had SEVERAL sunburned phals and they didn't seem concerned at all. I asked about their price and they told me to come back tomorrow and talk with a manger. Anyhow, I went back this morning and bought 4 of the worst of the lot for $0.75 each. They wanted way too much for the rest of them. I may go back tonight and talk with the night manager (who I know pretty well) and see about the rest. So here's what I brought home. . .
This one is P.( Salu Spot x Golden Peoker)
This poor baby is the worst of the group.
I also brought homw one P. Christina.
I brought home two P. (Golden Peoker x Brother White Windian)
Both of these two are very sunburned, but they have nice roots and at least two green leaves.

I love how you're running your own orchid rescue society. I wish I had the money and space to do the same. It's really a shame to see plants that could outlive us on death's door withing months of leaving the nursery.
ReplyDeleteI agree it's a shame to see them in such bad condition. Especially in a place that you'd expect to see otherwise.
ReplyDeleteI did go back this evening and got four more. These that I got tonight are in great shape (just not blooming).
It will be like Christmas next year when all of these rescues bloom.
