    Default Vandas for Sale on the sidewalk

    I was walking down the busiest street in downtown Cotabato when I chanced upon this stall selling orchids on the sidewalk. It's not even anywhere near the flower or plant market so it was a very pleasant surprise for me.

    I took the picture with my cellphone cam. Just couldn't help it.

    Jordan, I got a gift for my friend, a blooming Aranda Norah Blue (violet, middle of bottom part of photo) for 175 Philippine pesos, around 4 US Dollars.

    Thanks Bruce. I particularly like the colors because almost every color is present.
