One for the European members....went along to this today, and there were some lovely plants for sale. I came back with the following two in flower from Asendorfer, as well as a nice little thaianum from Ten Shin. I've included whole plant shots for Eric!

P. volonteanum





Apologies for the old roth growth dying off behind it, ruins the look rather

P. supardii

 

[Ozpaph]

There's something not right with that Vol.
Nice supardii.

 

[Alex]

Not right - please expand? i guess the petals are rather reflexed, but still looks like a correct ID to me...

It was just sprayed if that makes any difference.

Volunteanum looks cool!! And of course supardii is just bad ass, very nice

 

[Camellkc]

Sell the supardii to me! It seems to carry 6 to 7 flowers!

He has a bunch of them like that - they're from his own flasks, but given to a friend who has a very large scale commercial orchid hybrid nursery to grow on. She must have optimal conditions. They all seemed to have at least 5 flowers on their first blooming.

It just looks odd with the reflexed, twisted petals. It actually reminded me of sangii in its 'stance' when I first saw it. Hope it straightens out next flowering.

I actually thought it was a sangii at first glance......but I think it's a proper vol. I suspect the flowers have been open a long time so I wonder if it's just age?

Noce pickups...really nice supardii.

Nice acquisitions. The lateral sepals are curled on the vol. Hopefully its just from age or transport shock.

Very intense colors on the vol. Nice supardii, for sure.
