I have a hard time finding certain grammatophylums but there are so many other orchids that it really doesn't matter. They are all very beautiful. On the other hand I'm always looking for plants I don't already have and will look around wherever I am if they sell orchids. Home Depot is always on my agenda but only if the plants come with tags which quite often they do not. Just yesterday I picked up the following:

(1) Brassavola Little Stars (B. nordosa x B. cordata) normally this plant is a hybrid of B. nordosa x B. subulifolia so the word cordata intrigued me enough to pick it up.
(2) Rodrumnia Hollingsworth's 'Excellence' AM/AOS (Rodrumnia Apple Blossum x Tolumnia Elfin Star)
(3) Oncidium Burgundian ‘#2’ (Onc. schroederianum x Onc. Harry Sutton)
(4) Cattleya Llory Ann 'Paradise' AM/AOS (C. Mem. Robert Strait x C. Jungle Flare)
(5) Rhyncattleanthe Love Avenue 'Serenade' AM/AOS (Rlc. Waikiki Gold x Cattlianthe Rajah's Ruby)
(6) Rhyncholaeliocattleya Sachiko Tsugawa 'Volcano Queen' (Rlc. Chia Lin x Rlc. Haruko Kazaki)

Except for the Little Stars I had none of these. All came in 4" pots. Several were in bud and none cost more than $14.98
Now I need to go and pot these plants.

My Epilaeliocattleya Don Herman 'Gold Rush' plants are presently blooming in unison and I see I have too many.
