Beautiful, nameless
It wasn't always a NOID. This was my first new orchid bought in NYC. I picked it up in Manhattan's garden district, in one of the several flower stores along 28th and Broadway. The flower initially had a tag, describing across between two other paph hybrids. But for some reason I no longer remember, I didn't keep the tag. Perhaps I'll go back to that store next July to see if I could spot the same-looking flowers and jot down the name of the cross. In the mean time, this NOID paph is probably the healthiest of all my orchids. The bloom lasted a whole month, and in the following months the orchid has put out a new growth which is promising to outgrow the original set of leaves.
love the leaf coloring
When I repotted the orchid in October, it had a small but healthy root system, and the new growth was putting out thick new roots of its own. The new leaves have been growing at splendid pace.
