Unpopular Opinion - Flower Others like that you hate

[tmoney]

hmmm, this thread is bringing out the best in all of us!!

so even tho we have a proverbial boatload of generic grocery store phals (and as beginners, NOIDs are our jam!), i hate them. yes, you can find something cool about some of them, and there are some unique characteristics, but besides not liking the flowers i don't like what they've done to the orchid market. you could argue grocery noids have exposed more people to orchids, but i would provide other arguments against.

otherwise so far the only orchid i really disliked was one where the colours on the flower did not play well. some colours are not meant to go together...thats nature, not my rule.

love this thread tho!

and on that paph award, the flower count is great and the uniformity in height, form, and color is pretty good from what you can see in the picture. im no judge, but as a paph nerd im biased.
