I've been judging for a long time... And doing shows for even longer (20+ years). I don't think I've ever seen anything quite like these before. I was stunned. They are awesome and incredibly cute. When I saw them I almost thought they were plastic, and the next guess was, "what idiot brings non-orchids to orchid judging?". These are orchids, I'm the idiot.
I know next to nothing about these. The exhibitor (Hideki Kobayashi - if I remember the name right - no guarantees and I apologize in advance) told me they were Japanese, terrestrial, and easy to grow (for him). Must be, he brought almost a dozen of them. Four were awarded. My pictures will not do them justice, you'll have to wait for the award photos.
If I ever see these for sale, I will be hard pressed not to mortgage the house.
