I posted about this orchid in an earlier thread, but am just now getting to posting the photos. This paph was putting on a beautiful show with two full opened slipper orchid blooms and a third bud at the top starting to get puffy. - That was until I caught the third bud (top one) between my hand and the 5 gallon bucket of used bark I was moving. Long story short - I ripped off the top bud and toppled the plant onto the gravel of the greenhouse. The plant survived, but I thought I had better photograph it before the flowers fell off. It was so elegant too....
