$14.99 after Christmas! Orchids

Sure are pretty! Huh Thumbie?

If we didn't kill them off licketysplit

Just put yours around your neck, and think to yourself, I CAN'T KILL THIS 1!!!

I have a friend whose husband is a lawyer and he grows the most lovely orchids. She said he does it to calm his nerves.

Also spotted these! Aren't they pretty? Anyone get some interesting blooms for the holidays?

Those are Really unique!!! Love them

Those are beautiful Muddy.......never tried to grow orchids...have heard they are finicky and I don't have the patience for finicky plants. They are beautiful and I like seeing them. The varigated pointsettias are sure unique...wish they had a longer pot life.

Thanks for the beauty on this gray day.

Muddy, are those cut orchids? They are lovely. I like the pink & white together. If they are cut ones, I wonder how long they last?

I never tried to grow ochids except the ground ones I have, they spread pretty well.

That poinsetta is amazing...is that real or artificially colored?

Love the orchids...I don't find them finicky. Quite easy to grow & care for. Cut orchid stems can last for about 3 weeks.

The first picture were all potted up~~Your choice!

So very pretty! I had a tiny bit of luck at my old office, but not at home. I guess just not the right light/temp/watering....need I go on?
Some folks are great at getting them to rebloom.

Not so sure about the tie-dye poinsettia!
It is colorful, but looks soooo unreal!

Just got 3 minature orchids at the supermarket for $6.99 each--they will go in a terrarium that I got for a gift. We get my MIL one each year and she does nothing for them--they just need filtered light and a bit of water--tag says one ice cube a week. I got her some liquid fertilizer for them but I doubt that she uses anything at all. At this time of the year, they are plentiful and the prices are much lower than at other times.

I like natural poinsettias--I don't like the colored ones at all. If I want to use a different color, I get fake blooms at Michael's, etc.

Home Depot Garden Club just posted a BOGO coupon for orchids....but I doubt that I'll try them even at that price...I admire all those lovely shapes and colors, though!

at this time of year, not me.... I found I couldn't get them from the store to the car fast enuff... cold outside!!!.... so if you want any of those, take a foam cooler with you, have someone keep the car warm and don't let them catch the smallest chill!!!....
