I bought 8 orchids today at lowes for $1/piece. They were regular $25.99...........WOW
Now the problem is that I don't know anything about them......LOL
I also got 3 cyclamen, 2 bromeliads, one assorted plant pot with sedums, 2 daysies, a mini rose all for $1/piece
And I got a pretty big Marigold for 25cents, the lady said she was trying to give it to people that worked there but no one wanted it so I got it for a quarter.

And here I went to Lowes to look for sprayable foam.........never did go look for it...........ROTFL

Today was my day :)

flowox what a deal. You got lots of goodies. that is one disheartening thing about living way out in the sticks, not much chance to take advantage of plant sales. Donna

Resisting the tendency to green eyes, knowing I don't have a basement and I live in a dark house and can't hope to properly care for them. You really did make out like a bandit on these.
