Got a lovely Orchid yesterday
Big ones all colours £5 in Tesco's (Tesco are also selling Babybio Orchid food £1:89 reduced from £4:00)
I also baught a big round glass vase £3 from Instore's and 2 large bags of decrative washed pebbles £1:98 to place in the base, looks quite stunning and with a few Birthdays coming up this month it's a cheap and stunning big present for people and under a tenner!! (well by 2p anyway )
(please excuse the grotty window we're in the process of decorating the shack )

Well TBH I really do not know but...
Last year I baught some cut Orchids (again from tesco £3:99 a bunch) they lasted literally about 4 months and even started rooting they died because I did'nt pot or look after them I think? but 4 months for fresh cut flowers me and the OH where gob smacked to say the least.
If their cut ones are anything to go by then I recon they will last a long time (hopefully) they say on the labels "Guranteed 21 days after purchase" I can seriously belive it by the standard of their cut flowers
They have some lovely coloured ones as well all £5 some shops for the same size they are, are selling them online for £25+ exactly the same

Beautiful flowers - I just can't seem to keep them at all - they just don't like me!

trust me seriously! I have killed cactus!
It's worth ago for a fiver in my mind especially the result I had with the fresh cut ones apparently they are classed as a parasitical plant or rather weed, gone are the days of wrapping them in cotton wool, these hardy varieties even I havent managed to kill (yet) x
