I went into TJ's this morning to get some flowers for work. Well, I got some. :D

This is my monster noid phal. It is actually two plants, of course, 20" leafspan. It's not going to win any awards but has a nice lip and will bloom for a while, and customers will like it and ask me if it is real. :poke:
So, for 20 bucks, what the heck?!

It's still a nice phal.
Maybe you should bring into work some of your own plants for sale... :poke:

it is a really nice phal shoud get some attention at work

Very nice, is that real? :poke:

Looks very nice. It is the typical mass produced Phal that I see everywhere on TV and magazines. :D Thanks for sharing!

Yeah, I know. It is very healthy though.
Working so much lately, I am missing my plants, but my Paphs don't like it much here at work. Phals seem to do better, and nice to have a couple of pretty, blooming plants around.

Bravo! I got the same kind of plant Monday at TJ's -other than a weird soggy spot on a leaf, I'm still quite happy with it. 1) it has a name-unusual for TJ/HD plants-(Phal pinlong 'lucky' x Phal orglades white rockx self) & 2 it's quite a large plant, 2 growths w/ 6-9 leaves on each, very pretty, many white flowers. I was strong & didn't get a phal grocery shopping this morning (although it was nice, white w/ a pink splash "Heverlee"), of course if they're marked down in a couple of weeks, all bets are off...

Very nice, is that real? :poke:


:lol: :lol: Tadd, you sound like my DH! When I get Paphs & Phrags in bloom he says "Those are so beautiful that they look like they are not real."

That's a pretty Phal! Love the Shaker boxes in the background. Hey, our TJ's does not sell live plants. When did they start doing that?

Haha, yes, Susan, we sell those! :poke:

Truly - excuse the store pics! We have some goofy stuff, but also some very nice things locally made.

Love the store pics and the Shaker boxes. Actually your store has quite a few interesting items available for sale. You have a good eye. When I had my little antiques/gift shop in the early 90's, I would buy very similar things. There was a huge trade show in NYC that I would go to. It was amazing. It was also very interesting as to what would sell and what would not. Oddly enough, the things I was "lukewarm" about would usually sell first. Some of the things I personally loved, would not sell.

Your new Phal looks happy there!

Heather,

The flowers are lovely and the plant is spectacularly clean and healthy!

thanks

Thanks guys!

Susan, buying this year was really hard because we moved the store and didn't have a clue what people would want in the new location. So far so good, though it is smaller and we have a lot of old inventory not on the floor, which is distressing.

GP (as opposed to PPG) - I checked it and checked it and checked it before I bought it. Usually I do not go for this sort of thing, but this plant looked so nice, how could one resist?? Roots look good too.
