I have been waiting forever for this one to bloom the noid just opened. I know its a mini but thats all I know about it.

Nice spots on that one! I think it was worth the wait.

I've had to learn to accept that many NOIDs - especially Phals - will be forever unknown. There are just so many similar ones - and so much variation within a named cross that its nearly impossible to tell for sure.

I'll bet someone will prove me wrong on this, and I'll be happy to be wrong in this case.

Wow Unique!!!! it's really pretty , whatever it may be.....most of my phals are NOIDs and thats ok with me, because they are all orchids, and for me to really try to find out the actual name is almost impossible as Dennis, another member of the OB, as pointed out in the past. With all the hybrids and clones, many say it is impossible to know for sure and alot of hard work to name the crosses. If you love your 'chids, as I can see you do, don't worry if noone can identify you NOID, as long as you enjoy it! Hope this helps, I had a hard time convincing myself that it was okay to have NOIDs, and that I wanted a "name" for all of them. Now I just accept it and still will pick up NOIDs that need "rescued" and know that with proper care, it will flower and grow for me with or without a name!!!!
