Superb! Congratulations!

The weekend before last this won Champion Slipper orchid and Champion Hybrid at our spring show. Last weekend at the bigger SW NSW regional show it won Champion Slipper orchid and was awarded an AM (82.5 points). I was pleasantly surprised as judges have had opportunities to award it in the past and haven't, so I had no expectations.

Thanks Rick.

The old man. I thought I'd better name one after him before he gets too much older.

I have been enjoying the last few days of summer down the SE coast of NSW, so I have just caught up with this.

To be honest, of the 4 or 5 plants of this cross I have seen, mine is the only one that was half decent. The others were ordinary to say the least. Short petals and not a lot of colour. They seem to have taken the worst attributes from the parents. Here are a couple of links as well as a photo. I saw another one for sale on ebay here in Australia and it was no better than these.
