Here we go again, yet another orchid has followed me home!!
 

A few weeks back I posted about a huge Miltonia that jumped into the shopping cart when I wasn't looking. Last weekend it happened again, this time a Paph. Sneaky little devils!

I went home to France for a few days, and while there I stopped at a garden center to get some soil for blueberry bushes I was going to plant for my mother. And I made the mistake of going past the orchids....

With 'arms' like that, no wonder it got in the cart! :rofl:
Thanks to Ramon's (kavanaru) help, I think it might be Paph Honey. But there is no way to be sure....

Wow! Beautiful! It knew it wanted to go home with you, where it would be loved and cared for!

Very cool looking paph! By the way, for a second I thought hybrid name was "Paph. Sneaky" :)

Nobody just buys orchids anymore... :))

Very pretty!!!!!!! love the color :-)

LOL, it does look like I wrote that!! :) Maybe that should be its Noid name, suits it well.

Camille,

This problem can be very difficult and easily escalate.
At this point, I have orchids just showing up on the doorstep after the postman leaves.
What is a person to do??? :whistling:whistling:whistling

What a beautiful bloom...I would take it home with me too

They also have a habit of turning up on my doorstep. Trouble is that they never come alone, they always bring some friends along! Can't exactly tell them to go away :rofl: :rofl:

Orchids just know where there's a party! Of course they don't leave - they just squat and invite their friends, who invite theirs and so on. Ah well, at least that keeps the larger society safe from an overstock of orchids in nurseries. You did your civic duty, and from what I've read: you can be counted on to do so again. Thanks
