Paph NOID blooming for the first time
 

I picked this up at an orchid sale in Santa Barbara two years ago. It was part of a collection of paphiopedilums from the Huntington Library being sold, that had lost its tag, so I think I got it for $10. I had never tried growing one of these before, wasn't sure I could get it to bloom, but finally after 3 years it bloomed :) Enjoy :)

That was $10.00 well spent.

I'll say, it's very cute even if it took along time to bloom sometimes that makes it all the more special.

Really lovely!

pretty!

Nice one!

Nice. Well done.

Wow, thank you "TheOrchidBoy"
 

:bowing I think you might be right. I figured I would never know what the name of this flower was, or the cross, and you provided both. Thank you very much.
