Cape and Islands Display and stuff

[tim]

I won my first ODC trophy this weekend at the Cape and Islands Show with this display. A good friend loaned me the pots, which are hand-made and raku (sp?) glazed. Many ppl said they loved them - they look like wood but are not. I think they set off the plants perfectly and I was pretty excited to see how it all came out. Everything in the display is a paph...

first two are different lightings...

3. Top left is Gerda 'Magnificum' AM/AOS-RHS, top right is Provocation 'Kate's Memory' from the collection of former ST-er Rick Barry, bottom is Woodrose 'Echo' AM/AOS from Ross.

4. Top is Cathedral Cove 'Kate's Ruby', bottom is Beatrice Ernst 'Charm', an F2 Beatrice Ernst clone from the AQ group from the collection of Robert Ernst.

5. Top left is Ano Puddle 'Eureka' AM/AOS, top right is St. Ouen's Bay 'Ice Dragon' B/CSA, bottom right is Buena Bay x Gigimoore, and has really interesting yellow-pink color (we'll give it another year), bottom left is Tomas Garcia 'Mike' HCC/AOS.

6. Three pots up close; top right is the white pot again. Top left pot of yellows - top left is Magic Mood 'Honey Glow' B/CSA, top right is Smooth Sailing 'Kate's Trim', a cross of Donna Hanes and Billy Bunter 'Tereapi', one of my favorite parents, bottom is Reezy 'Irene' HCC/AOS. Bottom pot of yellows - top left is Green Gold 'Green Magic' from the McClellans collection, top right is one of my favorite seedlings of the year, Claro Javier x Anja, bottom is a very poor blooming of a wonderful plant, King's Forest 'Kate'.

7. Ambers - top left is Longbur 'Voodoo' HCC/AOS, top right is its parent Harbur 'Balthazar' HCC/AOS, bottom is Sioux 'Robin' (a weird blooming of it).

Hope you like them!

Great minds think alike!

Tim's display was fantastic. While the pictures are nice, it really had to be seen in person to get the full effect. Truly great display!

What did you end up doing with the pollen?

Really nice Tim, very impressive display. I wish our show was earlier in the year. Houston is in April and a majority of my complexes are done by then. Regards, Doug
