There is a large GC on my way home from work, I just happened to call in and got this for £1.80 ~ would have been a great shame to leave it there! Its a sweet sugar oncidium, about 15 inches tall and was marked at £16.99!!

Its lovely Sticki. I had one but found the flowers don't last long. Lovely while they do tho.

For snatching bargains up like this of course - they're reduced for me to snap up!!

Strange to have reduced it to near nowt while it's in full glory. Did the reduced sticker have W******e on it by any chance? ;)

normal orchid watering, you know when dry soak for 5-10 mins, then let drain out fully, keep away from draughts and it should be ok..
11 Jan, 2012
ok, thank you, same as my others then.
11 Jan, 2012
