Isn’t that wild how it just happens? I mean, there I am, minding my own business when all of a sudden wham! New orchids arrive. Is a total mystery how it happens.

Or at least that’s what I tell Mr Pi 😉

Mr. Swamp Witch is the reason these all ended up in the cart. Now, the other 10 plants from the clearance rack were my fault. But one of us has more expensive tastes. 😂

#### MeasomerPi replied on 2024-09-08

Sounds like a perfect match!

### MeasomerPi commented on 2024-09-08

Ooooo, that grey and lavender vanda is particularly lovely. What are the other three?

#### Swamp Witch replied on 2024-09-08

One little one is a vanda as well. One is brasavola nodossa x cordata and the other is Ctt. Netrasiri Doll × C. Landate

Is this a Lowe’s haul?

### Sharon commented on 2024-09-08

They put themselves into your car 😉

#### Sharon replied on 2024-09-08

You were not behind it

### Jen commented on 2024-09-08

Sometimes they just follow me home from orchid shows, orchid nurseries, and even Home Depot! I assume they are just looking for a good home.

Is your nodossa a ‘little stars’? I’ve been seeing those everywhere. Must be a really good year for them.

#### Swamp Witch replied on 2024-09-08

Yep! It’s a little stars

### MikeNeedsMorePlants commented on 2024-09-08

What a disgrace. Could've bought 10 orchids but you only settled for 5?

#### Swamp Witch replied on 2024-09-08

Don’t worry there were 10 more other plants. 😂
