# Wanted to share a warning with our orchid community. Beware of…

_Posted by Jen on 2024-03-15_

Wanted to share a warning with our orchid community. Beware of visiting your local Costco. Out of nowhere, these beauties just JUMPED into my cart and came home with me. Ooooh nooooo. 😉

In all seriousness, they had tons of irresistible mini and standard phalaenopsis- all in really great health- no sign of pests or major damage, all no ID hybrids with really interesting colors and patterns. Tons of multiple spikes, lots of branches, and most with buds still closed, so I should be enjoying these blooms for weeks to come. Did I need a couple more mini phals? Absolutely not. Am I thrilled with them anyway, at 10 bucks each?!? YES.

Ahaha truly. People say plants can’t walk, but I swear they follow me everywhere I go! 😉

Nice! My Costco only has the big plain white ones. Which are nice, but I love the mini yellow and pink ones more.

They had a pretty impressive collection at mine. Corals, baby pinks, white, purples, lots of patterns and shapes. Standard and minis too. I was surprised and impressed. Maybe it was just a lucky find.

Omg gorgeous! I’ve noticed since Valentine’s Day the no IDs at the grocery stores have been stepping up!
