    The cost was $15.00 at Walyworld. I picked one out of about 20 that had two Orchids in the pot. Now I have to learn the best way to care for it. :rolleyes:

    You have a nice healthy plant John. I got one last year and a flower stalk has emerged to grow about 5 inches. The plants have a long flowering period.

    Nice jbest123. Keep it moist and it could bloom for 3 months.
