Well, I didn't find it at a gas station... but 'm sure this wouldn't have survived the local hardware store very long, so I had to rescue it right? It's got one bud left to open still and three new growths as well.
Any ideas on what this is actually called other then Multifloral Paphiopedilum? And perhaps a care sheet or can I treat it the same as my single flower, patterned leaf paph?
thanks!
It's very pretty... it seems to be a Maudiae x multifloral cross but I couldn't tell you exactly what it is... I really wish we had Paphs in hardware stores in Canada! I can tell you that it will grow very easily and very well if grown like a Maudiae, maybe with a touch more light.
Wow! Nice score. I'm sure she'll be quite thankful you rescued her from the hardware store. As Joe said, the solid green strap-leafed Paphs generally will take more light than the mottled leaf varieties.
Wow!
Ive never seen anything like that in a hardware store. Where did you get it?
So beautiful. Looks like a philippinense hybrid. Probably best in warm conditions with moderate humidity.
