Oregon Orchid Society Show 2011

[luvsorchids]

Somewhat on a whim I decided to get out of the house and take a road trip down to Portland and see the OOS show. It was good to see a couple STers there. I saw Pete (neo-guy) and Theresa (orchidmaven).

Here are some of the lovely plants from Theresa's display (Hillsview Gardens)

Nice Paph. malipoense

A friend's Pleione that won a CHM.

Some more...

Love the red "noses"

Exquisite little blue Dendrobium. It won an AM/AOS, but photo doesn't do it justice.

Stunning blue Catt.

I was totally captivated by a couple of weirdies there .

Epidendrum medusae

And how cool is this one . Appropriately named Pleurothallis tarantula. I think I'm going to have to find one for myself. According to its owner it is easy to grow and tolerates both warm and cool conditions.

Hi Susan,
It was nice to meet you too. Thanks for posting those wonderful pics of the show. The blue dendrobium is the rare Den. cyanocentrum. Not only did we give it an AM/AOS, the grower (Terry) also got a 91 pt CCE/AOS for outstanding culture. It had over 40 flowers and 6 buds well presented all around the plant.

I didn't end up buying anything, but I'm sure I saw you there. It was definitely a high quality show.
