Orchid Show New Additions
 

Just got back from the British Orchid Growers Association 'Orchid Fayre' - and these little things jumped into bags and right into my hands before I could leave...

1) Some Masdie hybrids: (Davina x Avalon Pellegrini), (Pink Mist x Snow White), Midnight Plum, and Lyne Timoney.

(A Telipogon has been on my wish list of almost 2 years now!!)


3) An either love it or hate it Paph. I love it becaause I really love weird flowers!! Paph. (concolor 'Tupfel' x Jac Flash 'F.G.')

I also went a bit over-board and got a Mexipedium xerophyticum!! Just green leaves at the moment... but fingers crossed, I sure hope I am able to bloom this baby!!

Excellent haul. Some really interesting ones there. Guess I am in the "hate it" circle on the Paph, but weird it is. :)

I think I would have bought all the same orchids you did, even the Paph., very nice!

Sure a lot of nice things you got there.

Great haul, Shannen! Love those Masdies, and have to say, I REALLY like that Paph too! Great colors, and the burgundy looks as if it were brushed onto it. Kind of like Sumi-e ink strokes. Stunning!!

all great pics including the paph

Ooooh boy-O

Those are all sooo coolio! Fabulous choices!

I like the weird flowered Paph. . .course it's not like the other Paphs have normal flowers. lol

And the pots look great!

Just checked out the Mexipedium xerophyticum! OMG :faint: This one is amazing!

Great haul Shannon! I love the Masdies, gotta find myself some temperature tolerant ones. And I LOVE the Paph.! Of course I fall in the love weird flowers category too. :lol:

Thanks, Ross - and Paul! I'm not surprised about the Paph... it sure is odd. The next flower to open looks like it will have a better form however, but the coloring is just so different, its not going to be for everyone.

The Telipogon and the Pleurothallis are in spike, and as you can see, two of the Masdies have flowers...
