It was a great symposium. Dr Perner is now able to sell legal nbs and bs Chinese species with papers, including all the current no-nos. Great talk on pest controll by Ron M. Bill Goldner gave a great over view of his complex breeding.

Phrag bessea x kov. in spike
Paph micranthum x stonei in spike
Paph concobellatulum x Norito in spike
Paph concobellatulun x Shin Yi's pride
Paph X Fanaticum x roth Crystelle in spike
2-Gloria Naugle 1 made with roth Crystelle, one with roth Raven
Paph S gratrix x S gratrix from Hadley
Phal hieroglyphica alba
Phal deliciosa
a lg Phal stuartiana
Bulbophyllum gracillimus in spike
6 - Masd. ignea and cocc. from Theresa Hill from her AQ groups

I had a great time and I wish I had introduced myself to more forum members. Special thanks to Scott Ware for handling a lot of the behind the scenes duties so well

really? is he coming back?
(actually, i don't know who he is. can you tell me a little about him?)
 
He is a German ecologist now is currently working and living in China. He will be selling at the Tokyo Dome show and I am sure he will be asked by many in the states to talk and sell so it should be soon. There is a waiting period for the paper work so he needs 4 months to make the arrangements. If I hear of a stateside visit i'll post it.

Dr. Holger Perner has studied biology and lives now a long time in China. He has his own nursery with laboratory. He has shown his great knowledge about Cypripedium and Paphiopedilum in many articles in Germany, USA and Japan but also in many lectures in these states.
I had the possibilty to describe with him the new species Paph. vietanmense and Paph. hangianum.

With best greetings

Okay, here's my haul.... (snip)

Bulbophyllum A-doribil Upwind (B. basisetum ‘Red Slimy’ X B. echinolabium ‘A-doribil’ AM/AOS) in bud

(snip)

Okay, this monster is starting to open up. Damn! Why'd you guys let me bid on this thing!!!?? :) Port-a-john minus the "good smelling" blue stuff in the water. Bill Thoms must not have any sense of smell whatsoever. :) Can't wait to see what pleasures it brings once both flowers are fully open!

Doug, nice meeting you and Jay! I want to see a picture of you, Jay, and Don sitting in the suv with all the orchids and supplies packed tightly around you!

In Chicago, I carpooled to all the shows with three other judges. We had a rule- don't buy it if you can't sit in the car with it in your lap the entire trip home. The rule was frequently violated. We always had room for pies and wine from Apple Holler & Mars Cheese Castle (Racine, WI) though.
 
The one thing that really stuck out in my mind this time was the compots that Sam of Orchid Inn brought. In the past he may or may have brought flasks. He did this time, but he also brought a number of compots. Some where big some small. There where a number of roth. compots of 2 or 3 seedlings. On the other end of the spectrum was a full compot of Gloria Naugle. I bought 2 compots and will post which ones later.
 
O.K. so here is the list of things that I brought home. First I'd like to thank Potterychief for bringing me the first 6 plants in this list.

2- P. Giant Stone (Pacific Shamrock 'Clover' x Elfstone 'Showbiz' out of the O.Z.
4- leucochilum '950721' x 'Account Ruby'
a large group of P. Hsinying Nightfire x Cocoa Cherry
1 Paph mouquettianum 'Krull Smith' x 'Awoo' AM/AOS correct me if I'm wrong on the Awoo part as I can't read it to well
1-leucochilum 'Krull's King' AM/AOS x 'Matt Saftenberg' AM/AOS
1- leuco 'Krulls Leopard' AM/AOS x Krull's Perfection FCC/AOS
1- leuco 'Krull's Perfection' FCC/AOS x 'Black Watch'
1- S. Gratrix 'Krull's Giant' AM/AOS x roth 'Crystelle' FCC/AOS
1. P. micranthum x roth 'Crystelle' FCC/AOS
1- micranthum x roth 'Raven'
1- compot of13 seedlings of Fanaticum 'Pink Lantern' HCC/AOS x emrsonii 'Gigantic')
1- compot of 10 seedlings of bellatulum var album x sib (Perfect Circle x White Knight)
 
Just thought of one more thing that I brought home. At the auction I bid on both of the plants that Ross had donated but didn't win. The auction was winding down and it looked like I was going home empty handed. So much so that I wrinkled my paper dinner plate that had my bidding number. Then when I thought the last plant had been auction, the auctioneer pulled a gift certificate out of his pocket for Hillsview Orchids. I tried to scare people away with a healthy opening bid but it didn't seem to work. But, in the end I did indeed win it.
