Thanks, Joe. Bummer. Clearly, I need to be more careful when removing plants from the terrarium for watering.

Yeah I hate it when stuff like that happens. At least you got to see it for a while anyway. And it souldn't take too long for it to mature another growth and bloom again!

[QUOTE=chris_todd;284156]This is a Paphiopedilum I picked up at the Woodstream Orchids open house this last weekend. IT WAS ONLY TEN BUCKS!!! I asked the owner why an orchid so beautiful, and in bloom, could be only ten bucks, and he said it was because it was an unknown hybrid. I didn't care, and thought it was beautiful, so I bought it on the spot. A little web searching suggests it is a hybrid of Paph. wardii and "Black Cherry", and the few pictures I see online are very similar to my plant:





What a beautiful Paph!
I want one
I'll look for it in the next Orchid Show coming up in my area.
