Fall Mid America Pics

[Jon in SW Ohio]

Another great Mid America was this weekend and I think it turned out well. Our society co-hosted it with the Greater Cincinnati Orchid Society. There were many great vendors and exhibits, I just wish I would have remembered my camera on the first day instead of the last.

I ended up buying a few slippers; Paph. hangianum, delenatii v. dunkel, gigantifolium, a fanaticum in spike, and a multigrowth Phrag. klotzcheanum. There were plenty of others I had to talk myself out of though.

The society display we put in did VERY well and garnered the AOS Show Trophy, the Mid America Orchid Conference Show Trophy, and a 92 point Gold Medal Certificate. We also had the Best In Show plant, a Cattleya hybrid belonging to a local grower.

Very nice pics! Thanks for showing. That Cattleya is quite nice. Looks like it has Laelia purpurata in the background. Do you know which Phrags are in Piping Rock's display? The flowers look huge! Very nice displays also. One more thing - did you say you got a Paph. hangianum?! Am I remembering correctly, or wasn't there a lot of talk here lately about hangianums not being avaliable in the U.S.? Not that I care, since I'm in Canada, but which vendor did you get it from?

Very nice picture thanks for sharing - is that Bulbophyllum phalaenopsis on your display?

 

[JeanLux]

great pictures, nice show! I like esp. the coerulea LC!!! Jean

Nice show Jon. Who had the dunkels??

 

[goldenrose]

Nice purchases, nice photos, nice show! Thanks for posting!

Excellent display! I love the more natural settings rather than pots plunked on a table. Sounds like a great show and sale!

hangia... What the heck..?
The Piping Rock phrags are Pk hybrids.

 

[Jon in SW Ohio]

Yup Uri, that's Bulb. phalaenopsis and you gotta love all the newer people to orchids that don't think twice when you tell them to smell the flowers...

Unfortunately, Piping Rock didn't have any PK hybrids in bloom, but they did have straight PK seedlings for sale. They also had vietnamense alba for sale that I kept talking myself out of.

I got the hangianum and dunkel from a fellow grower, and the gigantifolium, fanaticum, and Phrag. klotzcheanum from Piping Rock.
The gigantifolium is just a little seedling with about a 2 1/2 inch leafspan...so I'm guessing waiting 11 years for Dollgoldi was just a warm up for this little guy

Looks like a good show. Did you go to any of the lectures?

Out of curiosity do you know what Glenn charging for vietnamense alba seedlings?

If that's right, then what is in his display? To me they look like, from left to right, Alfredo Manrique, and possibly 2 plants of Suzanne Decker. If I could zoom in closer, I could read the tags.

 

[Jon in SW Ohio]

Nope, didn't register for the show to hear the talks, just did setup/tear down and shopping lol

The vietnamense alba seedling was $200

The Phrag on the left was Jason Fisher, and the others I'll look up when I get home...if they were PK hybrids I would have gotten close ups

I tried to get my husband to smell that fine Bulbophyllum phalaenopsis, but he doesn't fall for said trick anymore!

It was good to meet you, Jon, if only briefly.

 

[Jon in SW Ohio]

Right back at ya

And I gotta admit, your paintings are even more incredible in person! My past dabbles in art are on here somewhere, and I could only imagine being able to paint like that.

 

[Jon in SW Ohio]

OK, the Phrags are left to right:
Hot Lips 'Haley Suzanne' HCC/AOS
Elizabeth March
Hanne Popow x Sedenii
Jason Fischer (no flower)

 

[NYEric]

Hot Lips [registered by G. Decker] = Hanne Popow x Living Fire, that's OK.
Hanne Popow x Sedenii = Randy MacDonald. should have some purplish color.
Elizabeth March, the color is odd for that one.
Well I was way off but I wasn't there so...

Interesting. Thanks. The flowers look way larger in the photo than what they are. Maybe that's just me though, although Eric though they were Pk hybrids too...

 

[Greenpaph]

Nice photos!

thanks for the tour!
