Odom's Orchid Wheel

1/31/2017

 
Well, you can certainly tell that we're getting to the dregs of our collection. This wheel is a vision of ugliness. A certain Louise S. Odom put this thing out in late 2000 and Odom's Orchids is still in business in Fort Pierce, Florida. The menu on their website lists things like Lady Slippers, Phalaenopsis, Growing Supplies, Orchid Books, Available Dogs. No wheels, though.

This wheel is made of some weird, flexible plastic. It's absolutely hideous. The side half-circles only serve to turn the disk. They don't reveal anything.

This monstrosity measures 10.625 across the disk and 13.625 from top to bottom. Amazingly, Odom's sold this thing for FIFTEEN AMERICAN DOLLARS. I hope WE didn't pay that much for it.
