Orchids

Amanda Lindroth

I love having potted orchids at CCC. I was at Publix yesterday and they had orchids on buy one, get one free. And many had two stems - I found two orchids with double stems absolutely loaded with blossoms. That makes them under $10 each for gorgeous orchids. If you have Publix, see if they have this deal at yours.

Does anyone have a tip for bringing orchids home in the car? - I put them in the passenger seat and braced them with my purse and grocery bags, but there must be a better way....
