Default New purchases from show

I went to the orchid show in Strongsville, OH today and bought 2 orchids. I would have bought more, but I was low on cash and the show closed early due to bad weather!

The first is Paph (Judge Philip 'Bluster x glaucophyllum 'Sunburst')

The second one is Pot Hoku Gem 'Freckles'

I don't know if the show is on for tomorrow, but I know the vendors definitely want to be there. They were forced to leave early by the city and the recreation center. I suspect if the weather is OK the show will be on, but Cleveland weather is so unpredictable.

I got the orchids from a vendor called Windswept in Time Orchids in Broadview Hts, OH. They don't seem to have a website. They said they specialize in more exotic plants because they can't compete with Cosco and other big box stores selling the more common phals.

I'm going to try to get there today if it is open and the roads are clear. I know the owners of Windswept in Time Orchids, they are a small business operating from thier home but they have some awesome orchids.
