The annual show of the National Capital Orchid Society is now in session, if any of you are in driving distance of Washington D.C. you may want to go - it's open tomorrow (Monday, 10/08/2007)! A warning, though: the weather prediction is for temperatures in the low 90's and the room containing the show is hotter!!!
Attached for your viewing are some pictures that I took at the show: they're mediocre (I'm not posting the MANY bad ones!) but I think that they're good enough for general interest. (It's very difficult to take decent pictures in the show, it's in a windowless room and people light their exhibits with a varying number of incandescent lights on poles: not only is it generally dim with a lot of shadows, but the colors vary because people use different types of bulbs. Unless you haul in your own lights et al, it's hit or miss.)
[I didn't know where to post this - there's no "Show" Forum - and I'm too lazy to post the Paph and Phrag pics separately, so...]
