This is one of those "baggies" that I bought in one of the big box stores for $5.98 in 03/06. It is now blooming for the first time. Nice surprise...It stated "red dawn like flower". Thought it might be more yellow/red but hey, still a nice surprise.

Don, great job! I love the shape of the flower. Did it come with the name or NOID?

Duh! Sorry, Don. It is the thread title. I paid too much attention on the the flower.

No reason for an apology. We have all done things like that. I am just glad that you enjoyed viewing one of my orchids. But even with a "beer" pocket, so as to speak, one can have some really beautiful orchids without paying $50.+ for some of the hybrids, especially for the average grower.
