An Orchid Show was held last week, I could not be there again, and my friend took and shared the photos. Sorry the photos are not mine, I can not post them here, so I show you the link and hope you enjoy them there!
All paphis in that thread are awarded plants.

Thanx! I love the pale Magic Lantern and the Fumi's Delight.

Your friend took lovely photos, thanks for sharing! They are all deserving! Eric & I seem to have similar tastes but I have to add sand & MK! ..... and those complexes - OH heck I can't narrow it down! MISSION IMPOSSIBLE!

That Liberty Taiwan and many others are amazing. Thanks for showing us what we're all missing.

Very nice plants:clap::clap::clap::clap::clap:

Excellent!! I just wonder if the P. spicerianum is a true species. Some people are questioning the flatness of the dorsal petals and serration on the end or the petals. The staminode looks like it is a P. spicerianum.
To me serration could be due to ploidy and the flatness of the dorsal is due to line breeding.

Ramon, didn't the spicerianum you got awarded have the serrated edges?

This looks like a very good example of selective breeding. It is happening with many paph species with flatter and larger dorsal sepals, fuller petals, brighter colors. It sort of puts older clones from the jungle to shame.....

Chien, please thank you friend for taking the photos. Also thanks for sharing with us. The one that grabbed me the most was the Frank Hughes. After that I have to say the Fumis Delight and the Magic Lantern. Just a great show of plants.

That is true!! That is why I have some reservation about it. I love that plant but people are questioning it.

Sorry to hijack the thread...but Ramon, is yours one of the spicerianums that the judges are considering or have cancelled the award for? From what I remember the edges on yours were more serrated than the one in this link. Are there any ideas floating about as to the parentage if not full spicerianum?

I also say thanks to both of you. Bob, I agree with your choices. I especially love the Frnak Hughes.

Ramon, just to add more to this question. Google up a Paph called Bruno 'Model' & ask whether this plant may have had some influence in the really good spicerianums we are seeing now.

I did and really don't know Roy. I checked up what Paph. Bruno crossed back to Paph. spicerianum (The Gurka) I does not look any thing like a good spicerianum we are seeing today. It has flat dorsals and looks like a complex paph.
