what do you think?
actually,there is a story behind my purchase of this phal,that is......ahem lets begin:i bought it at monthly sales @ singapore botanical gardens,ad i came very early(8 am singapore time)to snatch the best 'chids,and i only bring s$ 50 to refrain me from wasting too much money....upon arriving,i saw this magnificent phal,and directly fell in love with it...and i asked the lady of the owner,and she asked s$ 45 for it,and i felt very uneasy,and and my thought is that i should wait for the owner,and when i asked the owner,which is a friend of mine,and he onl asked for s$ 25!!from that moment,i learned that the lady of a nursery owner usually sells plant at a higher price..and upon packaging,the plant was put on a grill,and because it is heavy,it fell on the grill,resulting in two nearly bloomed buds snapped,and that was not very pleasant for me......:mad:

I'm with Bio. You can waste money on food and clothing. But orchids??? Never.

Nice haul.
