Friday orchid blogging

Just got in under the wire.



This is an unknown paphiopedilum. I saw it at a greenhouse earlier this year and liked the bat-signal-esque fringe. I have a lot of photos of paphs, as we call them, because they're quickly becoming my favorite orchid. Sure, in my case they catch strange diseases that require you to give them all sort of horrid treatments that verge on chemo, but they have beautiful flowers and, I think, the plants are somewhat easier than other orchids. Of course, only time will tell.

Enjoy.
