OCSA winter show - the slippers

[paphioboy]

The size of the paph insiagnes at the show blew my mind.. :drool::drool::drool: I have never seen suzh huge specimens of paphs before... The largest plant had 15 spikes, but unfortunately they were not well presented. A smaller plant had better presentation:

Paph Lyrup:

A very well shaped Paph (Onyx x Mystic Jewel):

Paph spicerianum:

A well grown Paph sukhakulii with 4 flowers:

Paphs from the last monthly show:

Oops, sorry, made a mistake. The paph i said was Paph Lyrup is actually Charlie's Girl. Here's the Paph Lyrup:

And 2 phrags at the show:
My first time seeing a Phrag Jason Fischer with 4 spikes 'in the flesh'. Too bad there was only 1 fresh flower. The older fowers at the topmost spikes has already become crumpled:

Phrag Sedenii:

Paphioboy, thanks for the pics, very nice.
Did you see the Paph leucochilum in the pic of last monthly show ????
Nothing like a leuco', the seller on the label seems to have had a large problem with wrong names, I have a similar flower from a Parvi cross seedling I bought from them.

Thanks for those picts.!
Insigne is quite impressive, I like the colors of Lyrup and of this white-green Onyx X Mystic Jewel ..., but best the Paph. sukhakulii!!!
The blooming Phrag Sedenii seems to not yet have the 'monster' size of Candace plant !!

Paphioboy, thanks for sharing your pic's.
This P. insigne is really impressively cultivated and a fine specimen. Although it is always said P. insigne is a beginners plant not everybody is able to grow it well.
Best regards from Germany, GuRu

AWESOME insigne!
I like Charlie's Girl too, appropriately named! :clap:

Thanks for the photos Paphioboy. The insigne is spectacular! The last one is not Sedenii. It is Cardinale (Sedenii x schlimii).

 

[paphioboy]

Thanks, John... The exact same plant was labelled as Cardinale at the last monthly show, but this time labelles as Sedenii. Maybe its just a mistake...

wow! You can even see the name on the label, Roy.. I think it a nice plant nevertheless. I would keep it if I was the owner..

I agree, Guru.. Although it is often recommended as a beginner's plant, I guess it only does well in cool climates. I certainly would not be able to grow it well in M'sia.. But i am really impressed by its vigour, as the older growths don't seem to die back even when the newer ones emerge. its about time someone selected a more warm-growing strain of insigne..

Thanx for posting. There will be more phrags able to hold multiple flower stems when the L.I. Jane's crazy sargentianum is used.
