Fascination of Orchids Show

[Greenpaph]

Here are a few photos of the Fascination Of Orchids Show held this past weekend in Costa Mesa, Ca:

I was offered a division of this cymbidium for $600!

Fred Clarke of Sunset Valley Orchids named this Potinara after his wife. It recieved an HCC/AOS!

This Paph Nitens 'Sue' (villosum x insigne) won a 95 point CCE/AOS! It had more than 60 flowers!

Jim Rose was disappointed that this Lycaste didn't win an award! I agreed!

A favorite!

Not bad either!

How large a pot was the Nitens 'Sue' in? It is breathtaking. :smitten:

Grandma

Grandma, the pot is between 18-20 inches wide!

The owner has entered every year for the last number of years. It has had more flowers annually. This was phenomenal! Understandable as to why it won a 95 point CCE/AOS!

All that in a 20 ' pot! I'll take it.

Thanks for the pictures, I'm really enjoying all the orchid shows that I'm 'attending'. We have Potinara Little Toshie 'Pizzaz' who looks alot like this one.

Tadd,

No. I could find a number of paphs for that kind of money! I had a couple of shots of fairries; but they were all overexposed! Next time!

I will hold you to that.... :evil:
