Eric, What do you use the peppermint soap for?

My pesticide mix: water, 91% alcohol, neem oil, Dr. Bonner's soap and Merit 75 for the kicker!!!

Thanks for the pics.

Nice pics.

Rather turned off by the credit card sign in the middle of sales booth.
Couldn't you clone that out???

 

[NYEric]

Nah, the truth will set you free!
See you at Deep Cut show?

That's a hell of a change.

Did the andreetae get awarded?

Nope, pulled but passed/screened. I was busy running plants so I didn't hear the discussion.

Just from looking at the flower in the display, it didn't have any spectacular form, so though rare didn't have more going for it, IMO (andreetae)

Not sure if it's already been done, but I was thinking more in the way of a CBR/AOS or CHM/AOS to set a baseline against which future flowers would be judged, not a quality award.

As far as I know, one andreettae plant was already awarded in 2012: it is Phragmipedium andreettae 'Angele Biljan', CHM/AOS (80 points) It was a plant with a single and poor flower asymetrical and twisted staminode.
This one seems to me nothing special since it has narrow and twisted petals...

Is is so uncommon andreettae in the US?
Here we have it like grass and it is quite easy to reproduce...

 

[NYEric]

Yes it is very uncommon. The one in the Photo would cost you $120 here. More than a blooming Pk hybrid!

 

[tomkalina]

Found it in AQ+. It looks pretty much like most of what we've seen so far and I'd assume it's the one the judges used for comparison before they decided to screen.

 

[cnycharles]

Glen said his plant cost $300 though maybe misremembering on my oart
