# It’s the day after Valentine’s Day! Now Is the time to stay laser…

It’s the day after Valentine’s Day! Now Is the time to stay laser beam focused on any orchids from cvs, Walgreens, etc for orchids. Give it about a week and these stores will be tossing them because the blooms are going to fall off and the staff will think that they are dead and no good. If you ask nicely they will give the to you for a discount (or free!) Don’t try to take them all, they will say no. Instead go from store to store and collect. 2024 I got around 8 phalaenopsis orchids for about $2.00 in total!

Good luck!

Yes! If the stores think it’s dying, ask if they’ll surrender the plant to you for a discount or free! I never think to do this I need to start lol
