Uh oh I better post 1 picture before Sue comes looking for me
A quick group shot, during the week all post some close ups. I just don't have the lighting I need.

Btw - I had a wonderful time. There was too much to look at for 1 visit, only 1 person to serve, she was really busy.
Some of the phals I seen were just massive in size. I was stunned at the sizes, I had no idea they could get this big.
Catts were giants, nice price tags to go along with them too. Some prices were reasonable tho'.
Many of the plants had their awards/ ribbons on display. Really beautiful, felt lucky to be amongst them
Got to meet 2 photographers taking photos of a friggen hugh white catt. Very friendly and loved to talk about what they do for a living. They told me they also shoot photos of race horses when they're not doing the the orchid shots.

Anyways heres the group shot of 7 orchids from slippers to phals and oncids. Also picked up some keiki paste.
Thanks for looking

Oooooo! Nice! You know you're not getting off that easy. We need names too! What's that slipper on the right with the longish twisty petals? It's gorgeous!!

Bravo bravo! Nice haul and so beautiful in a group like that! I vaguely remember going to an orchid greenhouse and buying bunches of them like that! Happy times!
Geez, I got to go again. You have made me so homesick for a good orchid greenhouse day!

heehee! Terri, I wasn't trying to rip you off
Its a multiflora strap leave paph. moquettieanum x glanduliferum.

Kiki you should make a day to go. I truly had a blast - it made my entire week!!
Seen many other orchids I wanted - uh oh! I don't have room for them, unless I set up yet another stand.

Wow, nice looking plants
Nothing makes winter happier than new orchids.
Come to think of it, nothing makes spring happier either......or fall or summer.....
