Trader Joe's Orchids

We've been talking about the tropical plants sold by Trader Joe's and the great variety and good prices they have.

For my birthday, my kids gave me an orchid they bought at Trader Joe's.



I just love the colors in this orchid. My cat Chloe wanted to check it out too.



One of the things I love about orchids is how long lasting orchid blooms are.


I've even had luck getting an orchid to re-bloom. I'm hoping this orchid adds blooms to our house through the rest of winter and into spring.
