I was actually down in that area last weekend looking at a couple of the local orchid places. Unfortunately I was not able to be there for the show, although I would have liked to.

I think most of the buds must have opened on the Ctt. White Bridal while it was packed and being shipped, because look at the form on this bloom that just opened!

Pabarapuma x Hatilla 347

Pabarapuma x Dabeiba 326
These clones have yet to flower, so as of now, are un-named.
I also picked up two Compots from Roy Tanaka of catt species, but can't recall what they are. I'll update along with pics tomorrow.
The gigas were actually picked up at RF Orchids as Gustavo from Orquídeas Katía of Colombia was up with same plants. I originally ordered 9 plants, but at the cost of them, some looked like they just came out of compots, and I was willing to take that risk of them not taking. Even so, the seedlings I got, are still a year or two from first blooming.
And that was all I got, spending ONLY just under $800, not including exspenses.. lol

Anyone get any Catts/hybrids from Whimsy orchids there? Their greenhouse is literally 200 feet from the park where the show was, and when I was in their greenhouse two weeks ago they had loads of nice catts.

I didn't buy from them, but I saw they had some big beautiful Guarianthe aurantiaca divisions in bloom. They were very tempting, but the huge size was enough to keep me from buying. I like the compact plants, and only have room for compact plants. |

Yeah, the one thing that I noticed when I went to his greenhouse was that virtually all of the plants were huge and needed to be divided.
