For you raging insomniacs, those 'ho-hum' pics I warned you about
 

Don't say I didn't give you enough advanced warning before boring you to tears with these flower pics from the East Lansing show. I would advise tying a pillow to your forehead so when you doze off, you don't hurt yourself as your head smacks into your keyboard..........zzzzzzzzzzz...........

Notice how variable Ishpeming is. If contemplating one of these, you might be best off getting one already in bloom.

While the coral color on this little gem came out quite well, I was very disappointed with the pic overall -- just couldn't avoid the glare for whatever reason.

And what show would be complete without at least one Psycopsis?

Now wakey, wakey *nudge, nudge* ... off to bed with you.:yawn:

LOL... Is it wrong for me to want every one of them?!

Thank you for sharing!

I was told that the Tutenkhamen won the cattleya trophy last year too, but I honestly don't remember that.

Great blooms! No I didn't fall asleep ;) Maybe it's because I just woke up? Lol.
There are too many wonderful looking plants, I can't pick out which ones I prefer!!

Spectacular photographs! The orchids that you have mounted on peices of wood look very healthy. Great growing job and wonderful photos.

:drool:

Wowser! Love them!!!

Thanks for showing us the lovelies! Really nice shots! :cloud9:

Great pics! Thanks for sharing!!
