Always keep your eyes open, I was in the grocery store and I always stroll through the floral department. I love plants but have put a kibash on new plants since trying to stay on a budget. Then I noticed a little stand in the corner marked manager's special. Low and behold these beauties were sitting there. Now I call it the TLC table. The plants need a little love but I was able to purchase 3 orchids and 2 Kalanchoe plants all for $10.00.
Now I have never been able to grow orchids, but I have the best green thumb (aka Mere) to help me with that. So with two orchids loaded in my arms as gifts - off to Mere's I go. So, I will keep you updated on how these beauties progress. Hopefully no obituaries will be posted in the near future. 
Moral of the story - keep your eyes open and think outside the box - there are always ways to rediscover passions even on a budget.
