FOMOS Show 2011 - Big pics...

[paphioboy]

Hi all. Just attended my local society show.. I'll let the pics do the talking..

Best plant of show: An ENORMOUS plant of Paraphalaenopsis labukensis with reportedly 12 spikes!!!

Reserve best plant: Paph Julius (rothschildianum x lowii) - This hybrid may be common in the States, but is not seen here... I've been looking for one all this while...

Oncidiums section:

Dendrobiums:

THanx for posting!

Cattleya section:

A cute yellow mini:

Catt. aclandiae, a rare sight in this country:

Catt. maxima, another rare sight:

The huge orange thing in front is Renanopsis Lena Rowold, one of the best hybrids involving Vandopsis (Renanthera storiei x Vandopsis lissochiloides) - this one is a flowering top cutting, I'm sure the original piece must be several meters high:

More dends (antelope type):

Paphs section - a mix of things (stonei, what looks like Shireen and Transvaal), a couple of complexes), but notably a large specimen of mastersianum and fowliei or barbatum (behind):

A rare desert-growing Eulophia species (can't recall the name) with large furrowed pseudobulbs... The spike is 3 meters tall..!! Liparis lacerata and ionopsis utriculariodes are in the background...

Cool pics, thanks!!! Esp. like the catt. species, and that very, very long Eulophia bloom!!!! Jean

wow - mastersianum with 4 spikes...never thought I'd see a plant of that species so large or so well-grown

Great show! Did you happen to get the name of the large brown and yellow oncidium?

Cattleya section:

What is the name of that fetching little fellow on the right? Looks something between a Lc Magic Bell "New Trick" and a nodosa.

Cool Paphs! I so much want a mastersianum and a Julius!

Strange time for a show. But the number and quality of the flowers proves it was worth while.

That masterianum is pretty amazing. So is the Julius although it doesn't seem to be staked well. Or maybe the flowers are starting to go.

Sorry guys, I didn't get the names. The exhibition area was cordoned off and the labels were not displayed prominently.

David, we have flowers the whole year around here.. Yes, a few flowers on the Julius were starting to fade, but its still amazing...

Nice! Thanks for showing.

 

[W. Beetus]

Nice! I really like the dendrobiums!

:drool::drool: What a show!! :clap::clap:

That "cute yellow mini" appears to be a concolor yellow Why Not, and if it is it is fantastic! There are only two clones of Why Not that I know of that are yellow. One is a aberrant plant from a meristemming mutation, the other is teh result of a sib cross that was made in Hawaii.
