Well, I've been away for 3 weeks and I missed the forum. I can't say I didn't view it at all in the last few weeks but it was just for a couple of quick minutes ever few days. I was able to have WIFI for the first two days at the condo and then lost the signal. I just got back from our fall vacation at Myrtle Beach. We had also planned on going to Florida and visiting Mickey and Junes Orchids, but the weather was to wet for that.
Below is a paph. that Hadley gave me while visiting him in N. Carolina. This photo was taken about 4 or 5 days before the flower fell off. It is a multigrowth first bloom seedling. I had also bought one of this cross in the spring and another one with this visit. Both of the other plants have a single growth and haven't bloomed as of yet. The cross is made using S. Gratrix 'Masterpiece' x S. Gratrix 'Bohemian Rhapsody' AM/AOS.
The next photo is a plant that I dragged with me to enjoy while at the beach. This is a multigrowth plant that I truly believe was one of Nick's choice plants. I just love this one. My personal preference is to have a nice round flower, rather then the flat ones that are getting awarded.
I also came home to one of Theresa Hills lovely plants that opened while I was away. I believe it is called Olympic Emerald. I won't bore you with a photo of that one as I've shown you that one last year. Just to remind you guys, Hillesview has a special going on at the moment regarding budded complex paphs.
