This plant
belongs to a friend from my local society. She brought in for the bloom table a few dats ago and I thought it needed to be seen by more orchid aficionados.
I was impressed by the size of the flowers and color. I have grown several aclandiae in the past and seen few awarded at redlands show in south miami including an FCC plant a few years ago. None were the size of this flower. The grower confirmed she has shown it at AOS judging and the plant was pulled but not awarded. She was told that the lip was too curly and needed to be straight like a spade.
the dollar bill just behind it is show the dimension of the bloom.
The vanda to the right is one of my plants. I forgot to take a picture of it. I cut the bloom and gave it to a friend.
Can someone advise on why pictures are rotated 90 degrees and how to adjust the upload? usually have no problem and pics are loaded correctly.
