Oh no, it was in full flower when it was brought in from the Home Depot. The Botany Professor must have pollinated the orchid as a teaching tool for his class. The orchids were for show and tell for Higher Plants class. Then I got stuck(blessed) with taking care of them ever after!
Update, one month later, the roots are longer, the leaves are bigger, and the pod is as green as ever!
