A little different this week. This is my exhibit from the Batavia Orchid Society show this past weekend. I call it my Paph. basket. I had 10 plants in the display, I guess I should say we my wife did help a lot. We got 3 first 1 second 1 third and the display got a third, 2 plants were pulled for judging but no awards. Most of these plants you've seen in my other MMblooms. I'll also post some other exhibits. ENJOY. Jim.

Thanks for all the photographs. It is always interesting to see how others set up their displays.

Congratulations on all the awards.

They really look great Jim. I glad you got awarded, your plants are always beautiful. Your Monday blooms always help with my Monday blahs.

Thanks, Bill

Nice pictures Jim. The Paphs are all beautiful, especially the "Bulldogs".

I love your basket of paphs! That really made a lovely display. Apparently others thought so too!

Look at all your ribbons! Congratulations!! The flowers really are so pretty!

It was nice to include the other displays, too. It always a joy to see so many flowers together.
