two open blooms and two buds :)
maybe a sequential bloomer?



:shock: *dang - need to scrub that sink*

It's beautiful. A hardware store???? That is the last place I would think of looking, and it's not even a NOID. Great buy.

Thanks Marilyn - I love it! This is from a local chain hardware store - sometimes great finds - sometimes not.
This particular store unfortunately has the orchids outside in the garden center - sheltered with the houseplants - but in winter they sure suffer from the cold nights and this poor baby was dry as a bone as it had been hot and dry for some time - looks a bit worse for it - but the blooms are holding up nicely and the foliage has perked up after a good soak, so I think it will be ok

Wish I could find something that nice at my local hardware store! Great score, she's a beaut!!

She's beautiful, what a great find!

it is a great find. no sales like that up here.

Gee, I drove 200 mi. round trip yesterday to go to the Parkside OrchidFest and here you found such a nice plant at your local hardware store. Go figure.

Very nice!! Pretty blooms! I would have snapped that up in a heartbeat. I never see Paphs around locally. I was lucky enough once to score a Den. Pixie Princess at the local Lowes. :)

What a pretty one! Jealous ... I would have snapped that right up too. Great score.

thanks everyone! Cant believe no one snapped up this beauty before I got there - must have been there at least a week - was bone dry -
Nice sized plant - 2 blooms, 2 buds, $10! How do you not buy it??? lol
