Hi recently visited Sunset Valley Orchids in Vista, CA. Below are some photos of Fred Clarke, greenhouses and plants.

Wow. Thanks! The FCC is unreal. And I actually like how different those Zygos are from the norm. What was the fragrance like?

Looks like you had another nice visit, Peter!

They were fragrant, but I'm not good at describing fragrance!

I bought a couple of his mini-catts. I also bought a half dozen of his paph seedlings.

Thanks for giving us a tour, the colour on the Fredclarkiara is outstanding, but then I have a weekness for those dark and mysterious colours.
