It is so hard, when you enter a Publix you have to walk right past the floral section where these orchids are staring you right in the face. Well, what's a person to do? Whistling

This is Bllra. Patricia Mc Cully 'Pacific Matriarch' From what I have read she likes it cooler and that works out fine as I have a perfect air conditioned spot for her in the master bathroom. She has 2 more healthy looking spikes.

Also came home with a Alcra.Pacific Nova 'okika' in spike. A large and healthy looking plant, I'll post pictures after it opens. Would this one need to be grown inside also?

Floral manager told me these Mauna Kea orchids are grown only for Publix and, as she has mentioned before, there will be no more shipments for a while. She thought the next shipment will come after the weather cools, maybe October. She also told me they had some awesome catts in this shipment. All gone by the time I got to the store.

Minds are like parachutes; they work better when they are open.
