    Default Noid question

    I keep reading about noids but have no idea what it means. What are noids?
    Feel like such a dummy.

    NOID = No Identification. An orchid that cannot be identified for any number of reasons.

    Yes, me too. I think I have finally figured out what a 'bag baby' is after about 6 months. Sold bare root in a clear plastic bag, typically at orchid shows, right? Joe
