This is the first for me or if it occured before I don't remember! At this month's meeting I got the "best" hybrid and species.

Paph David Ott

Paph haynaldianum

Our guest speaker was Tom Mirenda. He was very good but long winded!

:clap::clap:WTG!!! Some may think it's an easier feat at a club meeting but there can be some awesome plants that are grown by some terrific members!
We had Tom as a presenter this year, was the topic pollinators? Very interesting, entertaining too!

 

[NYEric]

Congrats! I like the shoulder-shrug petal positions on the haynaldianum. Tom is a very knowledgable orchidologist!

 

[Shiva]

Congrats! I also like the haynaldianum most.

 

[John M]

Congratulations! The shape of the haynaldianum is wonderful!

Both are stunning. I like the photo of the David Ott but that purple background doesn't do much for the haynaldianum.

Given the quality of your plants it seems amazing you have never won before. Either the competition is very tough or there is no interest in Paphs.

Congrats on both! The haynaldianum really is special.

 

[Carper]

Stunning plants as usual and well worth the awards.

Congrats on both! The haynaldianum really is special.

Both are stunning. I like the photo of the David Ott but that purple background doesn't do much for the haynaldianum.

I think if the purple were very dark, it would enhance the color of the haynaldianum, a very beautiful flower, indeed.

David, As mentioned in a post about our show back in April, I've been growing and displaying Paphs in shows since I started in orchids, Christmas 1986! Never have I won best slipper flower nor best grown in a show! Politics I believe I'm in the lead again this year for bringing the most plants to monthly meetings, if so, that will be five years in a row. The HOS boast a round 200 members but rarely do half show for meetings.

Very nice especially the haynaldianum. Way to go, congrats.

 

[valenzino]

The white door background doesn't do much for Tom either. oke:
