With her best friend Riley in the background, Griffin agreed to pose with the Paph. hainanense I purchased from Oak Hills Gardens, now in bloom.

I was surprised she didn't ask the flower for treats or try to pollinate it with her claw. Maybe the house is safe for slipper orchids? Here's a closeup (photo by Trixie):
