Aachen (Germany) Orchid show 2011

[JeanLux]

I had a trip to Aachen yesterday as a regular visitor of the Aachen Orchid Show, and to buy tons of 'Printen' (a cookies specialty of the Town).

En résumé there were lots of class plants, with a majority of paphs (Imo), and a very large vendors section (unfortunately Fr. Glanz was not there any more )

Jean
Here some impressions:

A new cross with a sympethatic name 'Euregio Maas-Rhein' for European region of the rivers Maas (in Belgium-Netherlands) and Rhein (coming from Switzerland, here esp. Germany-Netherlands)


Lots of slippers:


gratrixianum:


a nice callosum:


a Vinicolor:


A most impressive part, note the lowii on the left and the tranlienianum alboviride clump to the right side (unfort. the close-up is blurry):

Nice! the bundtii= bullenianum and the bullenianum= controversal ceveranum IMHO.

Nice pictures Jean, I thought about going to the show but because of work and I allready have two days off planned next week I decided to stay at home. However my parents and my brother went there yesterday and they picked up a nice plant for me which I'll post pictures of as soon as it blooms.

Only thing I'm going to reveal right now is that it has two buds.

Dear Jean,
the plant shown under the name of the never described x bundtii is a celebesense and very different to the plants shown at first as x bundtii.

Best greetings

Olaf
