After scouring the Internet for a week or so, I finally found a Paphiopedilum Fairrieanum. I love their gorgeous flowers!
My paticular one is a Pahiopedilum Fairrieanum (fairieanum 'Red' AM/AOS x fairieanum 'OZ') from Orchids.com. I named her Kalista, which means most beautiful one. When she arrived a few days ago, she seemed to have had a really bad trip. Her leaves were all mushed down and she looked a bit thirsty. Since she arrived late in the afternoon, I unpacked her and simply added some dolomite to her media and placed her in her new spot.
The next morning, I gave her a good watering, but she still looked a bit under the weather. It's been about 3 days since she arrived and she's starting to perk up somewhat:
I know in time, she will recover from the shipping trauma, but right now, she still has a few leaves that need to perk up:
As the saying goes; slow and steady wins the race!
