ok, finally getting around to it here now that i am back, ive got a million photos but this is a good representation of some of the paphs.. i can post more some other time..
Paph. micranthum-avg. form but huge flower. a first growth plant also..


Paph. micranthum var. eburneum 'lai'- another shot of the grand champion..


Paph. malipoense var. jackii


Paph. rothschildianum- ~31cm NS


Paph. haynaldianum- an exceptional clone, i think it received an AM also..


Paph. Michael Koopowitz


Some of the Multi's


A very nice, large Paph. wenshanense


Paph. Vangaurd's Lebeau-there were several exceptional Lebeau's and
Vangaurd's Lebeaus. They were not entered for AOS judging but would have been easy AM's.


This is a shot from Ribbon Judging. this was for Single Flowered, Species..
delenatii var. alba, dayanum, wenshanense, eburneum, bellatulum, micranthum, besseae, wardii, armeniacum and exul (L -> R)


Paph. Dollgoldi


Paph. Prince Edward of York- very nice dark clone


Paph. fanaticum-large flower with very nice patterning. recieved an AM


2 Paph. Shun-Fa Golden (hangi x malipo). the taller one on the left with the nice form got and AM


Paph. Wossner China Moon (hangi x armeniacum) & Paph. (S. Gratrix x armeniacum)

Mind blowing plants. It is almost impossible to separate them. I think that is the finest haynaldianum I have seen. What incredible colour.

thats exactly what i said when i first saw it

I like the Fanaticum. The patterning is amazing. They are all spectacular. I noticed the lack of group display . Do they not do that there? All the plants seem to be displayed individually. It reminds me of someof the other types of flower shows that we have. My friend shows Dahlias that way.

Amazing photos of amazing plants.

Hera-this was not the exhibition, this was just plants entered for ribbon/merit/cultural judging.. the exhibits were amazing as well

i want those parvi species.......:drool::drool::drool::drool::drool::drool::drool:

Wonderful stuff!

:clap:WOW!!! Amazing blooms!! Must have been a great show!!

The haynaldianum does have exceptional color! The rest arent' shabby either.

Awesome pics!

Thanks for the tour!

Very nice pics of amazing plants. You don't say where this was other thanTIOS, a location I'm not familiar with. Where was this?

Great pics, great plants!!!! Thanks!!! Jean

The grand champion, Paph. micranthum var. eburneum 'Lai', was posted in the local Canadian Chinese paper (A foreign paper! with a article I can't read). To my suprise my dad, who doesn't care for orchids, clipped it out for me. This is a great plant. haha, He didn't know I've seen this paph 3 times already online. We need to go to Taiwan!

Hard to pick a fav plant. I noticed the venue has proper lighting unlike our shows, as well as the plain backdrop to appreciate the individual blooms. This show was meant for judging.

I think they do have other displays, where it is a composition of plants with decoration etc. They look much like the Tokyo Grand Prix

I'm suprised the Wossner China Moon is smaller than the Paph. (S. Gratrix x armeniacum). Both took on the armenicum's amazing color.

That S. Gratrix x armeniacum is one of the best arm hybrids I've seen. Thanx for posting.

Mind boggling flowers all of them but in particular the P. micranthum v. eburneum, P. haynaldianum and... and...

That's the way Asians like to arrange their flower shows - the flowers are the most important thing not the arrangement of the plants.
