my first ever Paphiopedilum...

or Slipper Orchid..is already wilting....after only a few hours reaching home from the local nursery where i got it from... it was only upon reaching home that i noticed all was not well with the plant.... it did look as if it had fallen out of its little plastic pot and put back... well at that time it was simply a suspicion... but now that the plant is wilting....and on the verge of dying... i think my suspicion may have been right in the first place.... m rather disappointed that the nursery proprietor had sold me a plant that may be dying..... and on top of that  it was expensive too!! Well...it was partly my fault too...i was so taken in by the single bloom on the plant that i wanted it so much...despite seeing the bloom was actually on the verge of wilting though the leaves were still looking fine at that time.....

...the wilting beauty

Now...today...the whole plant seems to be wilting...and the roots are hollow...siiiiggghhh....
