Me and the wife were talking about orchids and how pretty they were. So i went to the local Lowes today and i found this:

It was discounted down to $3 so of course i picked it up! I plan on going to Pikes tomorrow and getting a new pot for it and repotting it. I've also been religiously watching Brads Greenhouse on youtube, he is such a wealth of orchid information, very awesome guy!

Congrats on your 1st.

A bit of free advice: Unless there's something wrong with the medium it's in, it might be better to wait until it's no longer flowering before you repot it.
