Burr,

If the leaves were variegated, then it was definitely a Paph, and thus
should require environment and culture just like a Phal.
Here is a very useful link to an article on buying and growing one's first
Paph (http://ladyslipper.com/1stpaph.htm), it mentions a few of the
different types of paphs.

And you could use either this page with links to photos
http://ladyslipper.com/ppfiles.htm or this
http://www.orchidspecies.com/indexp-pf.htm (look for Paphiopedilum further
down the page) to look at the different paph species photos. If the paph you
saw was a hybrid and not a species, you won't see it, but this might give
you something to start with.

Best,
Joanna

Thanks Joanna, this orchid looked like a pitcher plant and yes the
leaves were striated or not just plain green. The flower was purple and
the spike going up to it was fuzzy. Thanks for responding.......Burr
