[orcoholic]

Here is a paph with a face only a pod parent could love.

Can you beat it?

Look real close and there is some beauty in it! Remember the Ugly Duckling? LOL There is always something positive---I really like the color. Bill

When I read the title, I thought to myself "no bloom is ugly...", then I opened the thread, saw the picture, just laughed and laughed.

I still don't think it's ugly, just really unique.

I was expecting to see something really, really ugly but I have to agree with Liz. It's just unique. I'm sure Rob, who likes weird plants, will like this one.

Uh, not sure if I'm the right Rob. LOL That said, I *do* like this. And, it's nowhere *NEAR* as ugly as bellatulum.

Cheers,

Liking a "weird" plant might indicate that you have more than a name in common with Rob (Robidendrum) who about a week ago, declared his love of orchids because they are "weird and cool looking plants."

[delphiguy]

is this a first bloom for this plant? maybe its just starting to stretch its legs and will give
you a great show in the future.

[madphrag]

That is freakish. Genetic issue, maybe?

[orcoholic]

It is it's first bloom. And yeah, unique. That's a good one. Bet it can dance well and has a good personality too.
