I always transfer my moss orchids to bark. It's much less likely to rot their roots. The moss is good for the store where they sit for weeks or months without waterings but can kill an orchid if not treated in short order. I partial blame the deaths of my Gem and Lumina for being in moss for far too long.Because Michelle is stunning. <img src="http://yoursmiles.org/tsmile/en/t3723.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":obvious:" title="Obvious    :obvious:" data-shortname=":obvious:" />She knows I will take loving care of these plants. It's such a shame they have become worthless to people after their blooms drop. This is my fourth free orchid from that store.It is my pleasure and a true surprise. I will always find a place in my home for an orchid in need.Some good ideas indeed. I do like Nisha. :ty:Well this brings me to my blue orchid adventures last week. I stopped my by local hardware/garden center last week (Lowes) and they had a large selection of new dyed blue orchids. They also had about seven or eight that were past their blooming and were on discount. As you know I couldn't let them be forgotten and wanted to have one of these mutated orchids. Well one became three. <img src="http://www.mysmiley.net/imgs/smile/scared/scared0011.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":yikey:" title="Yikey    :yikey:" data-shortname=":yikey:" /> On Thursday I chose two that nobody would want. They were in the corner and one didn't even have a pot which is a death sentence for these plants. I did talk to a lady who worked there and got an even further reduced price for the pot-less orchid and we talked for some time about care of orchids and how I rescue them and I showed images of my group on Plant Tower. During the conversation I said that nobody would buy some of these plants after blooms and pointed to a poor orchid with broken and twisted leaves. I didn't buy that one that night but it weighed on my mind. I told myself if it's still there on Sunday I'll buy it and that's what I did. PlantTower is getting crowded but to have three blues is worth it. I just need to stay away from that store for some time or until a new Plant Tower is erected. :fp:[spoiler]<img src="https://i.ibb.co/mB0tTpS/Blue-Orchids081221.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Top, the discount orchids in the store. $7. The broken leafed orchid is on the far left. In the middle is the group of new blues orchids in the store. At $29.95 I don't know how many will find a home. At the bottom is the first one of the trio to make it home with me. [/spoiler]There are some Sunflower fields in my area that I pass on my way to work. I'll try to stop and take a photo if I remember. Please keep us updated on your Sunflower. They are in their prime now.In about a month I'll start the nightly bagging of the Poinsettias. They never look as good as in the stores as their growth is less and the colours are only on new growth leaves. It is interesting to see the colour changes.</blockquote>
