I'm in love with the goeringii...little flames. So beautiful.

What a huge show -- it must take days just to walk through it, much less stop and study each display!

Hello Olaf,

All of your photos are most impressive and informative.
Although to create an 'all genus show winner' and award it with such a valuable car is very subjective. If I had to choose I had chosen the magnificiant P.rothschildianum or the gorgeous P. fairrianum but alas nobody asked me.

Best regards from cold and snowy Germany, rudolf

So he has two of them now! He is also a doctor which I think don't need another one. Just so lucky!

Simply gorgeous, Olaf.. thanks very much for sharing.. Wow! A Merz for a prize..? If only they had that in my local shows..

Jean, if I'm not mistaken, the Megaclinium was formerly known as Bulbo purpureorachis from Africa..

I would send some pictures more, but in my hotel in Bangkok I cannot go online. So I am sitting in a Interent Cafe and cannot bring the pictures from my computer here.

Best greetings

Well done Olaf.
Nice of you to send the photos to show members.
I exhibited for 10 years until 1998, then I was there last year. Surprised how much smaller it was to the original days.
I hear on the grapevine that next year might be the last due to the downturn in finances.
It has always been one of the worlds top shows.
Happy memories of many Japanese friends.
