Default Went out to buy ...

So today I went out to buy some potting mix in the plant nursery nearby, and
to take a look (just a quick look) at the orchids they've got. Well, imagine
my surprise when this cute little Paph just insisted on coming home with me,
very persuasive for such a small plant. :-). My husband I think was less
surprised then I was. He knows me so well.

It's a Paph (Makuli-Curtsii)-Maudiae x Paph Maudiae "Napa Valley" HCC/AOS x
Sib.

The pot is tiny. I've never owned anything in a 2 inch pot before. This
plant has got these beautiful variegated leaves with lots of new growths. I
count at least 5 separate 'crowns' -- or whatever they are called in
Paphs -- I have been primarily Phal person, and don't really know Paph
terminology yet; this is only my second Paph.

Anyway, it looks healthy. It's in bud, but the bud still has to grow a bit
before it opens. The people at the nursery had no idea what the flower will
look like, and I couldn't find a google image of this particular cross. But
I assume by the color of the bud that it will most likely be one of those
light green Paphs, or possibly yellow, unless it's still too early to tell.

Anyway I am all excited about it ... and about the two Phals that I got from
Al's last weekend, did I mention those yet? I don't think I did.

I got a Phal Zuma Chicadee 'Marilyn Munster' Keikie, peloric . This is a
keikie of this white peloric Phal of Al's, which is just gorgeous.

In addition to this one, I asked Al to select another Phal in spike for me,
but I asked him to not tell me what the flowers will look like, and I have
not really studies the tag yet -- it's my mystery orchid, and I want to be
surprised.

Sounds really nice. I wish the nurseries close to me would carry something
other than the usual generic stuff. Of course I would be broke all the time
if they did

I know. But show season is starting up, so new opportunities will arrive
soon!
