GAOS show pics

Yesterday was the first day of the show. I went to help this year and I got to clerk in the morning. It was a fun experience. Enjoy the highlights of the paphs and phrags. I'll post the odontiodas later, they were to die for.

thanks for the great photos

i think clerking is so much fun! i really like to be the pointer and i always learn stuff. i think i did three shows this year! only got lucky enough to get slippers once. gotta ask next time...

is it just me or has it been so long since i've bloomed mine (and that one so much better) that i think the one marked lowii not a straight lowii?

 

[Hera]

The judges disqualified it as a straight lowii. Its obvious that it isn't. THey thought a hybrid and I think they're correct.

(saw alice in wonderland last night 3d imax last night so i was thinkin' my mind may still be a bit bent....)

Looks like it was a nice show! What is that phrag in the first set with the first place ribbon? I almost thought it was a Cyp. reginae from the thumbnail. Very beautiful color and form on that one.
