It was from a commercial nursery, one that I've ordered quite a few orchids from and for the most part have been very happy with. But no, it wasn't exactly what I was expecting, and I was quite disappointed.
That said, though there are no new growths from the base at all, the one it came with has finally taken off and seems to be growing pretty quickly, and the second one that's appeared higher up is coming along too - I've attached a new photo. So I'll see how it pans out...fingers crossed.
