Increased the collect from ASOS

[SlipperKing]

I was a very bad boy this past weekend. Attended the Annual Slipper Orchid Symposium in Apopka, FL and between the pre-order and the meeting I came home with 32 plants.
I got to meet our own Scott Ware, Suzyquec , John Chant and late but not missed, NYEric!
A nice wardii from John

A pretty nice concolor too from Main Stream

Almost forgot! Flew into Ohio first to visit mom and had Justin pick me up from the airport. Very nice young man and nice visit swapping plants and stories before my mother picked me up.

It was good to meet you Rick. I picked up some swap plants from Suzyquec, met John and Peter Lin. Talked to Sam Tsui , but did not get to talk with Bosha's son Alex. Man those mosquitoes were vicious at the BBQ. I picked up a few plants at the auction too. Many thanks to the organizers and Frank Smith.

 

[SlipperKing]

Another forget! Peter Lin and those damn mosquitoes! I'm sure there where a number of unwanted bids during the auction only because they were swatting mosquitoes!
2 plants I picked up from Frank Smith from the auction

How about this huge Kolosands in a 6 inch pot? Had to doctor it up from the ride back in a suitcase. The leaves are 3 inches wide. One spot measured as much as 3.25 inches

Some beautiful leaves there!

Are those parvis in sphag?
I didn't know micranthum flowers this late. I hope mine will soon.
and that last thing of the parvi bunch is a malipoense in bud??

You got some nice bunch of plants.

 

[SlipperKing]

Well the malipoense and the three micranthums v. eburneum all came from Main Stream Orchids and yes, they are all in bud. As for the sphagnum, I repotted in net pots with 50/ 50 mix and sphagnum. Here is a micrathum I got from Ed Hanes in 2014 also forming a bud that was very wet when I got it, CHC and moss growing on top. So yes, I try to keep them very damp.

I should of taken more pics of the festivities, only two.

One shot of the group gathering for the BBQ. The fellow with his back to the camera is our own Scott Ware. I didn't realize he had lights in his shoes like my kids use to wear
Here is Scott again preparing the bidding plates. I think the lady setting with him is Linda. Is that right Scott?
