:clap: Nothing wrong about posting like that! The 2 helenae crosses are darling! That hanging square net basket is spectacular - masdie I assume! :drool:

 

[philoserenus]

unfortunately there were no helenae crosses at the show--I really really really looking forward to seeing at least one... but i guess no luck for me... there was a Petite Fleur (barbigerum x primulinum), which at first i thought was a helenae cross too, but wasn't once i saw it up close.

and the hanging basket was a Dracula species. I couldn't figure out the name on the tag thought... =(

For some reason your blog won't open for me. It must be the firewalls on this work puter!

Great photos Nick; thanks for posting.

 

[Wendy]

Great photos. I remember most of them....helped with Paph judging, plus I was there all three days as I am a member of SOOS. I also had a small display that got a 2nd in the amateur division and three of my five plants got ribbons. (1st, 2nd and 3rd) If anyone wants to see it I can post in a new thread.

Great flowers -- thanks for leading us to your blog. What's the Zygo? (At least, that's what I think it is.)

 

[Wendy]

Photos posted in non slipper area.

 

[philoserenus]

Dot--I'm pretty sure its not a Zygo. Sorry, but I wasn't able to snap the name of the plant--hence the no namers =( However, I believe it was a Miltassia of some sort. However, if you want, I could post it in another thread for IDing =)

You're probably right -- I couldn't decide whether is was in the Onc. group or a Zygo. But from what I could see, I thought it might be a Z. Whatever it is, it's quite pretty.
