I know, I know... Jeez you guys love research! But I did, however, decide to guess by using the force :fight: and not research any of the pictures.... the big stumper for me was wallisii because it has a very similar white pouch to klotzscheanum. It was a fun contest and you guys did a good job.

omg, I won the lurker prize !!!! :clap:

and it took a PM from Heather for me to notice (did anyone else not notice the second post on this thread? please say yes....)
​

Ya know, I haven't won anything in something like 20 years? And I've NEVER won any orchids.

ok, so.... since I saw the PM I can't seem to stop thinking about slippers :smitten: Is there some kind of antidote to this? I mean, it's at the point that I'm thinking about the Paph Forum ... which is what, 4 months away...? :rollhappy:

 

[Marco]

Is there some kind of antidote to this?

absolutely, go buy some more oke:

Yeah, I was surprised you didn't get that one! oke: I think Marilyn LeDoux refers to that pouch as "toilet bowl white".

Re: the contests, well, they are fun, and bring people together, and I really am enjoying getting to know some of our de-lurked members. I think we learned a few things too about running contests. i.e. know your taxonomy.

Congratulations!! It is always nice to make someone's day.
So, now, to decide...

:crazy: :crazy: :crazy:

WOW! I actually won something! :rollhappy: I never win anything! What a great way to start the day! I know I didn't get all 10 answers correct.
Guess I got lucky for once.

Great contest, too. I had fun trying to answer the questions!

I knew there was ascocenda in the mix of #4 but I only had 6 so I didn't enter, So there.

 

[Rick]

That was fun. I think I got 8 of 10. On my screen I couldn't even discern the flower on 4, and I picked a species for #5

 

[Marco]

did you guys accept "kibana furan" for #4

 

[PHRAG]

For everyone except you Marco.

 

[Marco]

TYRANNY! man you guys sucks. oke: kidding :rollhappy:

 

[Heather]

For everyone except you Marco.

TYRANNY! man you guys sucks.

Hey, don't blame me, I left that decision to Mr. Japanafanatic....

Marco 7 (if kibana furan is a neo, which I think it is.)

 

[PHRAG]

Hey, don't blame me, I left that decision to Mr. Japanafanatic....

And that's why I took Marco out of the drawing entirely.

:evil:

 

[Heather]

LOL!!
:rollhappy: :rollhappy:

 

[Marco]

I knew it was rigged. Next time I'm gonna be more specific and detailed and you're gonna have a super long contest entrant email. oke: lol

 

[MoreWater]

woohoo! I have some new slippers, courtesy of Slippertalk! :clap:

I hope to have some photos to post soon-ish.

Mucho thanks to you for this contest. I will do my best to be a good contributing active member, although in my case that means hitting you up for advice.

 

[Heather]

Yip! yip!
It's all good, Ki!
