Ha anyone seen these? They have speckled leave, tiny purple and white flowers, and look like they stay pretty small. Does anyone know what they are? I'm curious about them.

Are you talking about the bromeliads? If so, they are some beautiful plants. Green, resembles a pineapple plant with a flower growing from the middle? Are those what you are talking about?

If so, I was at lowes just the other day looking at those.

It's definitely not a bromeliad. It's a Phalaenopsis, but the flowers are only an inch wide. Purple and white stripes. Just picked one up.

Paclobutrazol or similar PGR is used to control the size of orchid and plants.

Wirman I know exactly what your talking about. It's those regular orchids you find at lowes, home dept,and the florist section at supermarkets. they come in all different colors though
