Display snapshots from GROS Show

[cnycharles]

I managed to find some time to take a few quick pics of some of the interesting displays at the Genesee Region Orchid Society Show setup last thursday evening. I may take some more this afternoon when our club goes there for our meeting this month if there aren't too many people and there aren't any interesting plants to buy downstairs! Slippertalk member Mike from Main Street Orchids in Pa. is vending there, so asked him about more divisions of his nice paph armeniacum 'main street'; hope he has some left!

I'll make a few posts so that there aren't too many shots at one time, and also I have to get ready to head to our club to make the field trip carpool

I don't have names of the display owners; they hadn't been posted yet. note that some aren't finished yet and are a work in progress. my snapshots were a little shaky so these pics are just to give you a good idea what was there

Hey! Small show w/ few vendors beats the heck out of no show w/ no vendors! thanx for posting.

 

[SlipperFan]

Nice displays. Lots of thought went into their creation.

third installment

actually rochester had at least eight vendors from all over, a nice selection of different plants. rochester has lots of members many who are quite involved, and they did have some very nice displays, with lots of very interesting plants as well

a nice educational display with different types of media and plants

electric oncidiums!

yes, I know, terribly shaky. the hanging cymbidium flowers were so nice I still had to post them

again very shaky pic of excellent descending cymbidium flower spikes

a robiquetia but with only a few really 'open' flowers

Looks like that was a very good show! Eight good vendors is enough, lol.

For the lighting, I wish they used daylight florescent bulbs or cool white florescent bulbs, rather than those yellow incandescent ones. The yellow light makes it difficult to view the true color of the blooms

part of the problem is that each display had different little spotlights, and way overhead in the auditorium they had a different sort of large spotlight bulbs. the mix can make some funny colors and shading
