Hi Kyle - missed seeing you at the show this year...

 

[SlipperKing]

Nice PICs Joanne! Love that new camie of yours

They sent Ivan from Ecuagenera
I bought a Maxillaria reichenheimiana and Encyclia phoenicea from Ecuagenera,
I can't believe I suckered myself into buying Maxillaria reichenheimiana becasue it had nice foliage.

Who brought the Cyps? Very pale colour on those.

:rollhappy: I think it's sweet. It's a good thing being a sucker for a nice plant.

Chuck Taylor's cypripediums (Fatoldbaldguy Orchids). This is my second time that I recall seeing him display Cyps. I am glad that he takes the time to make these bloom early for the show.
An elderly lady, who I was giving a tour to, was very happy to see them, and I am sure many other people too

Thanks for sharing, I couldn't go this year because I'm headed for Jamaica next weekend. I was hoping for some of Forestview Gardens complex (like Lippewunder) maybe I'll find species mini-flasks in Jamaica to tide me over.

Forestview had some very nice plants of Lippewunder available for $45 at their sales table.

Fren, it was nice to meet you although we didn't have a lot of time to talk. The hospitality of the people of Edmonton is amazing, and I felt quite welcome by all that invited me. It was great to see a good level of interest in slippper orchids, especially Chuck who is quite the avid Phrag guy. His awarded Eric Young is the reddest one I have ever seen and very impressive.

Sorry you couldn't be at the banquet to hear my presentation.....

Was it Chuck's Eric Young that won the Grand Champion? I couldn't get close enough for a good look at the tags...

Gorgeous pics and blooms! Thanks for showing us!!

Yes, it is the plant on the left that had a previous AM/AOS. It bloomed this year with 7 flowers and 6 buds on one inflorescence, but the form wasn't quite as good as the award blooming. The color is exceptional!

Phrag. High Voltage 'Trud's Slim Creek' AM/AOS was awarded last year, and we ribbon judged Phrags with Rita. The blooms were even bigger on a single spike. The blooms too heavy for the peduncle acually.

I might get to upload a few more photos on Tuesday. I took some random photos.

I did have a good Saturday though. Nice meeting you and I hope that you enjoyed your time in Edmonton.

Chuck is the phrag master of the society. I have never imagined something like this is capable on a Eric Young :clap:This is the most amazing Eric Young I've ever seen ('Slim Creek' AM/AOS?) I think he has brought it to a meeting with two spikes before

 

[Kevin]

Very nice! Do you have names for the others?

From left to right:
Phrag Eric Young
Phrag Jersey
Phrag Ruby Slippers
Phrag Autumn Fire 3N
Phrag besseae

(I don't know how I remembered all that without looking it up)

 

[Kevin]

Thanks. I was going to say the centre one was besseae, but I thought it had too many flowers. Does dallesandroi give it the floriferousness?

 

[smartie2000]

Yup I think so. However it is not the same as dalesandroi because it is somewhat stolonous, unfortunately.

And the centre one is besseae, he had two besseaes.

I wonder if his Eric Young had some dalesandroi in it...hmmm. But it is already confusing as dalesandroi is not at a species level, and are already mixed up with besseae. I think the first Eric Young cross from the EYOF was made with dalessandroi?

I don't think his besseae parent was a dalessandroi, from what he told me it was a very red besseae and my guess is that it is the Paute type. I don't think he would get that much red in the flower from dalessandroi.

Gotta love that Ruby Slippers! The micranthum 'Mintaka' is fantastic - just look at those petals.
