My Daughter and I , went to the Edmonton orchid show, and came home with a few
A couple of varietys , I've not grown before.
This is coel huettneriana lactea Unchained Melody




This type of Den I'm also not too familiar with, just have the den phal type.
This is Den. Love Memory 'Fizz'


Last , but not least, a scented specie Phal, violacea var. coerulea x sib.



All have wonderful scent, especially the Den. . There are three more, but they are not in bloom yet.

While I couldn't go, many other members from the Saskatchewan Orchid Society went. I heard when I was picking up my flasks that I preordered yesterday that, in total, the members of my society made $1,300 worth of preorders!

Your plants look great. Your Den. Love Memory Fizz is a nobile type so needs a cool dry winter to bloom.

I too went to Edmonton. As Cody mentioned a few of us went. I think the 3 in our car spent a nice chunk of change at the show. One friend came home with 34 orchids and I came home with I think 14. I am scared to count! And then yes, all the pre-orders our society placed. We really enjoy the Edmonton show and find it's a great opportunity to get plants from across the country and out of country.

Yes, it was very good to see so many familiar faces and to get to chat with members from other societies. Fortunately success builds on success: the more people come to see, and buy orchids, the more vendors are motivated to come and sell. The atmosphere is always great, the budget always to small....

Nice haul!

I have ceol. unchained melody. just finished bloom. I like them but smells bad for me. lol

Dendrobium nobiles are very common here in the spring and I love them. love memory fizz is one of my favorites for beautifully colored and scented flowers!

That last phal must be nicely scented too, isn't it?
