Bargain Orchids for £5

Hi Everyone

Orchids for £5 at local Supermarket at weekend .

I got a Cambria for £5 and it had two stems and full of blooms.

Also picked a beautiful phal for £8 it had 2 stems also and many blooms and buds.

 

I'd best steer clear then.....don't have any room for more........have about 20 at different stages taking up most of the spare room!

.....well maybe one more

I might just be over 20 CG

 

They are beauties Scotkat .

 

It was so hard to walk past and only look GOGS

 

Can I ask which supermarket were those from btw? They seem good quality. I often see the ones in Ikea and get tempted, but those normally look like they've been dragged through a hedge upside down

 

Not my normal supermarket but is was Tesco some were not too great I was lucky as I know now what to look for.

 

Will have a look next time, often see their houseplants out for about £3. Only thing is most of their selection doesn't like direct sunlight...so no good for me. I'm generally VERY vigorous in my quality control before I bring anything back. Learnt in the past after getting an on sale orchid from a local g/c only to find 3 months down the line I had an infestation of mealy bugs.....spread onto 3 of my others. Took me ages to clean them up, but didnt save the offending orchid....

 

Those are so pretty!!
