Awesome photos, Brian. I am so happy you are posting these for everyone to see. The flower in this photo is Paph. Franz Glanz (emersonii x armeniacum) (And yes it's a REAL Paph. Franz Glanz)

No, it's the same hotel as shown on the Host Hotel page. Clarion Hotel & Conference Center Tampa located at 2701 Fowler Ave, Tampa, FL. / Reservations: 813-971-4710. Apparently since the time we originally posted the URL, the parent company just redirected the link, making it absolutely...

Folks, we’ve had a last-minute change in the speaker lineup for this year’s 13th International Slipper Orchid Symposium. Dr. Holger Perner will present “Paphiopedilums in China” as the featured international speaker at the 13th International Slipper Orchid Symposium Saturday, November 6 in...

I remember that now, Ed, that's what you told me - but I didn't hear it. I dunno, but I really wonder if they might not have been joking. It's a Paph. charlesworthii hybrid. Hard to imagine a dorsal "too big."

Candace - no kidding! That's how it has been for me 99% of the time over the last 25 years. You either have to drive hundreds of miles to another judging center or just hope for better timing next year. In the case of this plant - the flowers looked this good for the PREVIOUS month's judging...

This is a hybrid we have already been shown by at least two other growers here, Bob's plant and another wonderful cultivar in this thread: Fren's plant I have seen several others in bloom and there hasn't been one yet that I wouldn't want on my bench. They are all very nice. First, the...

Jim, yes on a case-by-case basis. I don't add it for the brachys. I have better luck if they dry out a little faster than other paphs between waterings.

Nope - no rockwool. Just a simple bark/charcoal/perlite mix with crushed oyster shell top dressing.

Brachy Case Update - May 2010 Since this thread was recently revived, I thought folks might enjoy seeing a couple photos from this year (2010). While it is nearly the exact same time of year as the previous photos in this thread, there a few different things in bloom. The topic...

ERIC! You of ALL people! It's the SLIPPER Symposium, for heaven's sake. :poke:

Well, Jo - since you asked. :) This year the 13th International Slipper Symposium will be held Saturday, November 6 at the Clarion Hotel & Conference Center in Tampa, with the traditional Sunday nursery visit at June's Orchid Estate on November 7. The Symposium venue is about 15 minutes...

Well, it wasn't at the time. :poke: The award is from 1983.

I was just visiting with Marilyn Hanson today. Yes - the very Marilyn Hanson this cross is named for. I am pretty sure she has never heard of Marilyn Manson. :poke:

I'm guessin' it's probably too late already.

It's hard to pin down. This year I have collected morels from an area under a Douglas Fir tree that had a thick layer of forest duff, a sloping hillside out in the open at the base of some young alder trees, and near a dead and decaying big-leaf maple stump. All three locations had very...

Yup. Basic Capitalism 101.

Looking forward to learning what Doug might have to say about this.

Nice result. I have 'Alfri' in bloom right now, and was just thinking how nice it would be if that pink weren't there.

Sounds like Bob held his own private Parkfest!

Wow - great job, Susan. I wish I had been in town to see the show.
