Default New mini Phal Find (no flowers); Odd Presentation!

Hi.

Returned from dinner, found teeny new gift from the porter who picks up the trash before my door.

Sorry, flowers long gone. Immediately obvious it had been seriously underwatered (FAR better than over): the crinkled leaves spoke that.

Clearly not a baby, but a mini: skinny, dried spike from it's first bloom.

But, never in my life have I ever seen anything like its presentation! It was in its original, soft, fragile clear plastic with raised Chinese characters; that was inside a glazed cache pot with no drainage; the skinny dried spike was clipped to a tiny wooden clothespin thingy with round attachment saying "Baby Love." What?????

Incredibly, while the moss was bone dry and hard as a rock....when I wetted the moss fully and teased all of it off the roots....all the roots were healthy! I potted it in good NZ moss in slotted clay, burying the aerial roots, and snapped a single side hanger onto it and now its hanging in its new place among my other Phals....and will have a very happy life.

Has anyone ever seen anything like this crazy thing before? Is it some kinda gift for say a baby shower?
