Pics from OCSA meeting

[paphioboy]

I am now officially a member of the Orchid Club of South Australia.. I went to my second day meeting this afternoon. Had a presentation on native Aussie terrestrials by Les Nesbitts (of Nesbitts' Orchids) followed by a short show and tell session. So, here are some pics to share... Sorry for pic quality as all are taken with my phone camera.. Enjoy!

Acianthus reniformis (flower spikes just forming):

An Aussie dend hybrid (I forgot the name, but presumably hybrid of dend tetragonum due to the spidery flowers):

Cattleya Browniae 'Riga' (a very common plant in Australian collections, it seems):

Unknown cymbidium (cym. pumilum type hybrid):

Cymbidium erythrostylum, a Vietnamese species:

An Australian greenhood, Diplobium laxum:

Another one, Diplobium robustum:

Sorry for the above large pics.. I thought I resized them already on Photobucket.. It does not seem to be working.. oh, well..
A well grown Laelia anceps:

Mini cymbidium Peggy Foo:

Paph Bingleyense (I had to look this up, I thought it was Harrisianum.. Anyway, Bingleyense = charlesworthii x Harrisianum):

Another greenhood, Pterostylis sanguinea:

Sarcochilus Burgundy on Ice:

Zygopetalum crinitum:

This is what I got from the raffle today:

The magazine 'Orchids' by the AOS, several issues from 1998-2000:

And then a kind lady who won another set of 'Orchids' from the raffle gave me her set too..! hehehe..

With exams in a week's time, I have to try to NOT read them until exams are over... MUST..NOT..TOUCH....

 

[paphioboy]

Oops.. a mistake.. Its supposed to be DiploDium, not Diplobium...

MUST..NOT..TOUCH....

It sounds difficult to me....!!!! I hope your exams period is short...
