Than take a look at this which is in the lobby by the pond, I only had 30 mins for the whole place and couldn't find the tag. I believe it is an orchid http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/7068434 right?
Dan Doucette
Sure, very glad to help with anything in my own backyard.
yulia8473
well, not any more, you have already answered my question right here http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/7060588 thanks)))
Dan Doucette
Sorry to hear you're having problems, but I can't help much with the iphone app. Sure, what's up? I will be there tomorrow.
yulia8473
Are you going there again shortly? I have a favor to ask
yulia8473
I have more orchids from there I just didn't get to them yet. I have some problems with iPhone app for Noah project, I submit a spotting but it doesn't show at the site at all, some my birds and flowers have to wait until I have a minute or two((
Dan Doucette
Yes, these were at the greenhouse, known as the Floral Showhouse. I can see you've taken a bunch of spottings there. I went in there today to make sure and I saw this orchid. It did not have a tag but it does look similar to ceherzog's suggestion. Unfortunately the orchid expert is off all week so I can't ask him, but I will find out.

I am not sure but we walked towards niagara from the birds place, passed the rose garden (no pics there unfortunately my phone was dead) and then we hit the greenhouse and a parking with a car and phonecharger

I actually went to see bird kingdom but I just can't pass flowers
Dan Doucette
Looks like it was in a greenhouse. Whereabouts were you?
yulia8473
Nope it was last night at some indoor garden we accidentally found there
Dan Doucette
Were you at the Floral Showhouse today? I've seen a lot of your recent spottings are from the Falls again. I was working right out in front of there today.

It's an orchid, possibly an intergeneric cross with Arachnis as a parent? http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=arachnis&FORM=BIFD#x0y0
