I have an engagement party to attend in Milton, MA on the 27th...is that close to Boylston???

 

[Heather]

I'd have to mapquest it but probably 45 min. away? That's a guess...you should come, Ron!

 

[likespaphs]

it's on your way too or from ny. well, sorta...

 

[Heather]

If anyone, ANYONE(!!), close by has plants they'd like to display in the New Hampshire Society's display, please let me know! ASAP.

(Having a bit of a crisis this morning...)

NHOS Display

Someone who tends to go overboard (IMO)

Mountain Orchids - they always do such a nice job. Fewer ribbons than usual though.

Brennan's fabulous phal. I think this got best Phal. in the show. My photo doesn't do it justice (and I don't like Phal. species but this one was wonderful!)

dude! where the heck is the mos display?!!!
i mean, thanks for posting photos.
i was kinda surprised that mountain didn't use their wardian case...

 

[Heather]

Glen Decker's display was VERY nice this time. He really broke out of the box and did a more natural display which was appreciated by the judges.

Glen's kov. hybrids

Carrie from Orchidphile had some REALLY nice Phals. The splash one was very symmetrical!

A&P, as usual, had pretty fabulous plants when it came to size. The Iantha Stage was humungous!

(i think the one marked 62 is the ocean state orchid society's display)

 

[Heather]

dude! where the heck is the mos display?!!!

Most people who do displays bring their own cameras. oke:

I will take a photo today...I was on the team that judged your display and there were some comments, (if you're interested in hearing them later) and so the majority of the photos I took were for future reference.

Oh! I wondered who that was. They weren't entered in any of the three categories I helped judge (25', 2.5 x 2.5 tabletop and 4' x 4'.)
Speaking of 4x4, that's what CNEOS was entered in. We didn't really get that!

 

[NYEric]

Thanx. Now Glen's gonna hate when I call him about some plants!

 

[Heather]

I have MOS display photos but won't get them up until later tonight...

Looks like a nice show! I like Glen's display, very nice, as well as the plants. That splashed phal is awesome! Thanks for posting!
