Melissa's Memphis Orchid Society show haul

It really pays to pre-order from the great vendors because usually they pick out the best in the greenhouse for you.

Here is an awesome example from Clown Alley. The ad says a 5" pot and yes it is a 5" but after digging out the 3 layers of pots and roots, this guy went into an 8" basket with coco-fibers, medium orchiata, and hydroton balls mixed together.

As you can see in the picture, the tallest growth is 24" and I counted 7 new growths (4 establishing and 3 nubs).

5" inch.... I had to use a hammer and pliers to get the pots out.

amabile is very similar to farmeri except that the blooms are blush pink with yellow-orange throat and the white tip lip.

Whoa.... I'm surprised that the roots didn't bust out of the pot on their own! Did you remove the other pot(s) in the root ball?
What a great vendor to give you such a large plant.
