C. passerinum
C. pubescens (x11)
C. reginae (x2)
C. reginae f. albolabium
C. Sebastian
C. Ulla Silkens

Others:

Amerorchis rotundifolia (can't count how many)
Angraecum sesquipedale
Bletilla albostriata
Coelogyne tomentosa
Den. (Thai Jeng x compactum)
Doritis pulcherrima
Neofinetia falcata
Neo. falcata (yellow form)

I did quite well at this auction. I got a lot of interesting plants - the Patti McHale x besseae cross was a compot of 11 plants that I got for only $35. A member of my society gave me $20 for 5 of them, and then I sold 3 more to another member for $15. I ended up with 3 free seedlings (one of which was the largest of the group)! Even more interesting is a Paph which apparantly is an album species or hybrid of Vietnamese origin. The donor thought it might be a hangianum album x jackii album based on the first blooming. I really don't know what it might be but can't wait to find out! Here are a couple photos of the foliage:





Any ideas? I know it is very hard using only foliage. To me the leaves don't look like they have hangianum album in them, but jackii album is a possibility.

Cheers,

Joe
 
I think your phrag tag is smudged, should read Patti McHale.

Maybe only one of the parents is album, because the base of the plant has red spotting?
I am not sure what the leaves of hangianum x jackii will look like. Somehow, I think the veins in the photo look more malipoense than jackii (I may be wrong in this guess, since the other parent may change the veins' pattern) Hope experts on the plants & their hybrids can give you better input.
 
Based on the foliage, I'd say there is no hangianum. The tesselation is too distinct...had there been hangianum, the leaves would look more like Mem. Larry Heuer. Perhaps its vietnamense x jackii/malipoense? Take care, Eric

I thought the same thing about the base of the plant... I guess time will tell.
 
Happy growing!!!! Great aquisitions in great prices!!!! I would love to be in a society here in Greece...:D If there was any...:( Grrrrrrrrrr
 
Nice haul!! :drool: Free seedlings! Now that worked out really fine, didn't it? :wink:
 
nice list, happy birthday and interesting cypripediums you have... it looks like there is at least one benefit to living in the cold, dark north where you can grow cyps that won't even grow in upstate ny because believe it or not we have hot spells in the summer warm enough to kill those plants eventually
 
Very nice collection! Orchid society auctions are a GREAT source for plants.
