Tygerberg Orchid Group Show

[TyroneGenade]

I was hoping Faan would post some pictures but now I can’t resist any longer. In the past TOG has put on big shows and while this year’s show was smaller it was still spectacular walking into a hall literally packed with orchids!

This was the best Paph. I assume we all know its name...

Best in show: Pot. Haw Yuan Gold YK #2

I think this Phrag was robbed. This happens a lot over here… This Phrag Dick Clements grown by Roy and Erica Swart. The photo is with the flash on. The flower looks plastic so excellent was the substance and the colour was rich rich rich red like blood. It didn’t even get an award. I’m sure the judges had their reasons…

Iwanagaara Cape Orange.

An anceps hybrid… Coastal Sunrise I think.

Best Paph hybrid. I hope Faan can supply a name… But the best is yet to some…

A little Slc. Mahalo Jack 4N (best mini Catt). I can’t recall if the flash was on. It was pretty bright without the flash best I recall.

Slc. Kagaribi Dawn “Red Star”. The flash was on with this one.

Odcdm. Tiger Hambuhren “Mieke” x Oda Flower Carol Ann (best Oncid).

Cym. Miss Muffet. My word was this thing tiny! I love it.

This is World Venture x Greenstede x Redwick. Somewhere brackets are missing.

Missed this one’s name. I hate it when the plant label isn’t well displayed! i think this is the daddy of my avatar: Paph (Timbrel Herkules x Another World) x Simon. Faan will know...

We’ve seen this one before: Winston Promise.

How did this fellow lose to that Maudae hybrid up above? These masterianum hybrids are stunning! I want one. It is Via Quantal “Toffee Jones” x masterianum “Butterscotch”. Also grown by Roy and Erica Swart.

I like the Iwanagaara Cape Orange very much and although I don't usually like Odont-looking crosses much, the Odcdm. Tiger Hambuhren “Mieke” x Oda Flower Carol Ann really is nice - both in form and color.

:clap::clap:I would have enjoyed this show in person! Thanks for the post!

Is it a MDC? The shape looks nothing like mine or others I've seen.

 

[TyroneGenade]

Goldenrose, I suppose it is supposed to be MDC. I'm not expert. All I can say is that it was very red and quite big.

I'm reposting the other pics into this thread where all the replies are appearing (Moderators, please delete the other thread!).

This is a Leeanum.

So is this one…

Here is a bulldog for Roy in Australia: Noelle Claue “Picasy” by Roy and Erica Swart. It looks plastic. You can see the substance. Sadly, it isn’t very flat or round.

Paph Aladin. An oldie but a goodie.

Sl. Little Red Seagul. I don’t know, but I think that Mahalo Jack stole this one’s prize.

Paph (Winston Churchill x Kimura’s Red) x (Winston Churchill x Kimura’s Promise).

And here is another clone:

Looking for that perfect blue Catt?

And what is an orchid show without the sukhukli?

Paph Joanne’s Wine

Paph label hidden out of sight—one of those more mysterious hybrids.

Paph haynaldianum.

Soph. coccinea.

And more coccinea! Grown by Sheila Smith. However did that Mahalo Jack win?

 

[TyroneGenade]

No name Paph…

Paph Buckhurst x Mrs MB Miles “Paradise Beauty” grown by the Swarts.

I think this Wilsonaria Hildra Plumtree

More bulldogs…

(Winston Churchill x Kimura’s Red) x (Lovely Land x Lovely Yard)

This one was actually a NOID. How sad.

Hope you enjoyed the show.

Remember! The best time to visit South Africa is September. The TOG show is the first weekend. The Duckett show and Darling wild flower show is the second weekend. The COS show is normally the third. The forth weekend you can take a hike up onto one of the mountains and see the wild orchids.

Neither am I, Eric.

 

[NYEric]

I see them now on my home computer. BTW the Phrag wasn't robbed it was mis-named, not MDC. I love that Paph Aladin. Thanx for posting.

 

[biothanasis]

Amazing photos!!! TY

 

[SlipperKing]

Thanks for the posts...loved the show!

 

[SlipperFan]

Now they are visible to me, also.

They are all nice, but I'll take the mastersianum cross, please.
