A Few Pictures of the Awarded Paphs From the St. Paul Winter Carnival Show

[Ross]

I'm finally recovering from the back to back World Slipper Orchid Conference/Winter Carnival Orchid Show challenge. The show was very successful with i believe 11 AOS awards given, most to Paphs and Phrags. The highlight was, of course, the Phrag Ecuagenera's Dream from dmcmkl. It received an AM and a CCE

I should probably correct the record regarding the name I gave to this plant. Before it was officially registered it was changed from 'Pink Passion' to 'Superb'. Jason was asking me what I wanted to call it. I started with 'Pink Passion', then changed my mind to 'Superb'. I was driving him crazy trying to arrive at a name. The name on the card in the display is the name that was on the spreadsheet that Jason submitted to the judges when he entered them in the show.

I should probably correct the record regarding the name I gave to this plant as well. Before it was officially registered it was changed from 'Purle Passion' to 'Deep Purple'. As with the Ecuagenera Dream, Jason was asking me what I wanted to call it. I started with 'Purple Passion', then changed my mind to 'Deep Purple'. I was driving him crazy trying to arrive at a name. The name on the card in the display is the name that was on the spreadsheet that Jason submitted to the judges when he entered them in the show.
