... is finally blooming! lol Catt alliance inter-generic (I'm guessing) Noid. My first ever orchid. I got it in the summer of '04 - downtown farmer's market. It was in bloom at the time. It bloomed once for me in '07 after being left outside and neglected all winter. I didn't remember what it looks like other than orange and smallish blooms.

Despite having difficulties getting this one to bloom - it's been a real trouper and refused to die no matter what I did wrong!





My many thanks to all the OB folks who helped me to get this to bloom!

Thanks for looking And if anyone thinks they recognize this one (unlikely I know) please share!
