Some lovely displays, here is just a few of them......

Year of the Horse - represented by a large display of amabilis

Not sure what happened with this photo, I was trying to take a photo of the two guys in this musical group but my zoom lense got stuck in this position. I feel bad about it really.......anyway this is part of the entertainment at the banquet after the judging. Not a display but lovely anyway......

Oh wow. I love the one that emulates a bonsai.

There were between 12 and 15 displays I think which were like this, they were all pretty amazing. Can you believe they were out in the full sun with Phals? I think in some countries orchids can be treated much differently than we do in our shade houses and basements.

In full sun!? No, I don't believe it.

Yes full sun, shaded for part of the day but the atmosphere is different. It's a hazy kind of high level cloud that filters the light. It's hard to explain but they all seem to do ok. Some are literally sitting in full sun just fine, I noticed the same thing in Singapore.
