More Death Row orchids
Posted: Feb 02, 2007 5:32 pm
When I go to garden centres I like to buy plants on the Death Row shelf. They only cost £1.50 - £5 as opposed to £10-15 full price. I have acquired six orchids this way and so far 5 of them have produced new flower spikes.
This one had no flowers, so I didn't know what to expect. It had a label which helpfully told me it is a "Mixed two spike".
Now it has flowered I can see it is a Miltonia and probably Confusa hybrid.
The colours remind me of a pantomime dame's dress.
