Orchid Show Score

[isurus79]

I was at the opening of the Windward Orchid Society Show today and they had some really great stuff! On display was a HUGE Catt amethystoglossa from H&R that took an AM and a CCE (I believe) and it was just amazing!! Anywho, I also picked up a Phal Hilo Lip 'Cat Nip', B nodosa x Enc cordigera (sorry for the fuzzy pics)and a Dend Nestor in bloom, as well as a small Angraecum sesquipedale (not shown). The Dend Nestor is not nearly as glossy in real life as it appears in the pic and is actually quite dark. All in all, a great score!!

Oh they are lovely! That phal called 'Cat Nip' is so appropriate! Orchids are like cat nip to us! Great haul!

Wow they are all beauties!

Thanks all! I also forgot to add that the nodosa hybrid is fragrant during the day and it smells great!! Ive never encountered a nodosa hybrid that smells during the day. Wierd.

You picked out some gorgeous orchids! And what a great bonus with the nodosa! I wonder what makes that one have a scent during the day? How cool!

The lip is SUPER fuzzy!! I caught myself rubbing it over and over again because it was such a wierd feeling!! lol
And about that nodosa, ya I was really surprised it smelled during the day.
