MVOS Spring show 2007 - Dayton, Ohio

[Darin]

The show was this weekend. The drive up for judging was a bit hairy as it was snowing pretty hard. As a result of the weather the judging got started pretty late. Although the show was small (only 15 exhibits) it was nice. Flower quality was pretty good - 10 AOS awards were given (one was a CCM and one was an AQ). Here are a few Photos from the day.


Paph. liemianum 'Pink Puff' - Received an AM of 84 points

Paph Shadow Dancer - Received a 76pt HCC

Lycaste skinneri - Received an HCC

Some other various images of the show.

Gosh, that last one is so glassy!

Nice awards, and nice show in general. We're up next week. Woohoo!

That's Bill Porter's. The dorsal is huge, and it is a nice glossy red flower.

When I saw the MVOS I thought someone was posting about MY MVOS: The Magic Valley Orchid Society in Twin Falls, ID.

Pink Puff is VERY nice. Hoping mine is nice too.

Wow, they are all gorgeous, don't know how they pick the winners. The Pink Puff is a dazzler, but the Shadow Dancer just went on my wish list, there's just something about that one.

Thanks for posting those.

Did Windswept get the show trophy?

I was there Friday for setup, but didn't make it on Saturday or Sunday thanks to work
I took a few pics, I'll have to upload my pics tonight. I think this is the first one I've missed in over a decade

I understand tho - I just accepted a job that will take me out of weekends for the most part. First time since 1993!

Looks like Darin and I had many of the same plants catch our eyes. I didn't have the benefit of lighting, so please excuse the dark pictures. Here's some of the ones shown above:

And here's some others I thought worthy of a photo:

 

[Jon in SW Ohio]

Three examples of a Phal cross I liked...I imagine no one else will

And lastly, outside they had some Ice Sculptures, and this one was my favorite. Unfortunately with the sun nearly down, it was about impossible to photograph.

 

[SlipperFan]

Thanks, Jon. I like the Phal. It's the unusual ones that catch my eye.

 

[Heather]

I like the Phal. too. Reminds me of bellatalum.

Darin, which judge were you? I was there all weekend.

 

[Darin]

Big guy (300+ pounds) with beard in the red and black striped shirt.

I was the door guard during the judging with a beard and long hair. I'll probably see you at the Cincy show. I'll try and introduce myself.
