The Paph Forum was excellent this year. All 3 talks were great and the display of slippers was pretty good. There weren't quite as many as previous years, although I think that was thanks to the snow and cold keeping people from risking their plants.
The lighting in the newly renovated meeting room is much better for taking pictures. Here are some of the blooms I liked most.
Paph. Hsinying Cherry - the picture doesn't do it justice, this bloom got an HCC at the forum:
Paph. Annette 'Golden Ace' AM/AOS - the yellow was really intense, not really captured in the photo:
Paph. chamberlainianum:
Paph. delenatii fma. vinicolor:
Paph. rothschildianum x Kevin Porter:
Paph. Skip Bartlett 'White Pepper' HCC/AOS:
Paph. sukhakulii from Marriott Orchids - I was surprised the group didn't earn an AQ:
Phrag. La Hougette:
Phrag. lindleyanum
Phrag. richteri - it had 4 blooms open on a branching inflorescence putting up a great display:
