Thanks, Tim! There were so many really different things at this show. I swear there was even more variety than at the London Orchid Show. Even though I came home with quite a few plants, there were quite a few more than I put back!!

Great haul, Shannen! Love those Masdies, and have to say, I REALLY like that Paph too! Great colors, and the burgundy looks as if it were brushed onto it. Kind of like Sumi-e ink strokes. Stunning!!

Thanks so much, Yvan. I think that is why I was attracted to that Paph... I love the sort of splashed on, irregular, painted look.

If nothing else, it stops and make you look at it!

I've never seen anything like it in Paphs before.

Thanks! It is interesting to see how people react to that Paph... Just posted a poll, and I hope to get some interesting comments about it!

Ooooh boy-O

Those are all sooo coolio! Fabulous choices!

I like the weird flowered Paph. . .course it's not like the other Paphs have normal flowers. lol

And the pots look great!

Just checked out the Mexipedium xerophyticum! OMG

This one is amazing!

Great haul Shannon! I love the Masdies, gotta find myself some temperature tolerant ones. And I LOVE the Paph.! Of course I fall in the love weird flowers category too.

Somehow

I knew you would like my choices. In fact, there were several times that I said to myself at the show - "If Gwen were here...."

(and then again, when I got home and started re-potting

)

Terri, I'm glad you like them! See pics above for closer shots of the Masdies. They are the cutest things. But I can't wait to see what that Masd. Midnight Plum looks like! Its a cross of coccinea (IOSPE PHOTOS) x discoidea (IOSPE PHOTOS)
