maybe, you could take a overview photo from those stadium seats looking down to the exhibition so we can appreciate how immense the whole show is.
 
:drool: :smitten: :clap: I'm lost for words :D

Once again, Thank You for the pictures!
 
Pretty spectacular--just stating the obvious there! And of course the slippers are great, but that lycaste is in fact superb too...very elegant. I like the fact that they don't necessarily feel the need to crown the largest plant in the show.
 
By the photo which is not the best judging tool, I can see why the Lycaste won. That is one supurb Lycaste. BTW, that P. fairrieanum is beyond description and the P. roth', well, I hate them, that should be in my greenhouse.

:rollhappy:
 
Thanks for those pictures! The grand champion is very deserving. I love the way how they curl the leaves in an ikebana style to enhance the beauty of the plant as a whole. :clap::drool:
 
Somewhere hiding is my painting of my own lovely brassavola that was juried in. It's not remotely over the top though, just true to my own aesthetics. Second year in a row for me to be there in absentia!
