Who could pass up a "twofer" and fragrant to boot. I'd have bought it too.

How pretty. I never see any like that here.

I've been wondering myself how the other one will look. I'll certainly send an update!

Orchidwiz lists a P Goldie, a large flat yellow with spots.

So I'm afraid it's not a NOID after all.

Goldie is a cross between the species P fasciata and a big white named Snow Chief.

Very nice flower-- I love the waxy yellows. And the fragrance is a big plus.

Great buy!

It's a great tip to try and contact the grower of a NOID in case they have more info. Most growers only have specific hybrids and and so can tell you what it is. I recently managed to get the name of my new Paph by looking at the growers website... it turns out they only grow one, so now I know what it is.

Anyway yours is gorgeous

I would have snapped it up as well.

Thanks for looking up the parentage, Mehitabel! I had to google P fasciata and I do see the "resemblance"
