Hello Hello!
Haven't been here in forever! Hope all are well!
A paph I purchased last year from a green house (she was on the clearance table and the "expert" said not to buy her) is sending it's first bud (for me)! I have NO idea what species this orchid is other than it has mottled leaves.
My concern is she's hanging over a little sort of like a candy cane. Should I support the bud or let it hang naturally?
Whooopee! If the stem is growing fairly straight, and just the bud hanging down, leave it alone, that's what they do. Post some pics, so we can all follow it's progress.
