Nice plants Camille! That Zygo x Promenea is stunning. I love it. LOL for a small show there were a lot of plants!

i love the last pic! your haul is interesting too, though some of the name are pretty much too complicated for me. i can hang at the show for days looking at how wonderful the setup are! must try to make baskets again - i learnt it in school years ago...

A yellow zygo? I want one!

Those are all great plants. My wish list just got some new additions.

It's not a yellow Zygopetalum but a cross, this is what Camille wrote to me; Zygo mackayi x Promenaea xanthina. The shape and spots come from the Zygo, the color from the Prom.

This cross is called Propetalum Mathina.

I noticed the large wood vanda type baskets. Are the plants potted in them, or are the pots just placed in there for display? They look interesting to me. I have some little Tolu pots placed together in a 12" vanda basket. They are used as a centerpiece.

The pots were just placed in the baskets and decorated with spanish moss for the show, but it looked really great! I think I might do something like that, it really gives the effect that they are growing barerooted in the baskets.
I know you love Vandas Marilyn, and I don't know if you looked at the pics on webshots, but I think you'll like these!

That Vanda teres is awesome (must have, can't grow it here... LOL)

Oh my a free Twinkle. I'm so jealous. Should have asked my mom to go (still living in NL). I'm sure she'll be sad she missed it when I tell her. Some great pictures Camille!!
