GNYOS - who's going?

[NYEric]

Thanx for posting the link, Marco. It's kind of interesting the nice young lady who started this thread backed out and now says she can't make it. Hmmmm..

 

[Marley]

Hi,

Is the show going to be in the same venue as usual, under a tent over the ice skating rink? If so, putting that tent up in this rainy, windy weather will be a show in itself.

Yep, same location, the weather is supposed to straighten out on Weds.

gnyos is one day away and tax season is over. i cannot wait!

 

[NYEric]

Taxes?!? We didn't pay no stinkin' taxes!

 

[Scooby5757]

I may be wrong, but I heard that it won't be in the tent this year.

 

[NYEric]

Then where?

 

[lienluu]

Then where?

Dennis told me the same thing, that they were changing things around this year. But i wasn't really listening so i forget what he said the changes were.

 

[Ron-NY]

I heard that it is still suppose to be in the tent but the tent won't be over the skating rink but put up on the street level.

I am stil going but was just hit with a much larger than expected tax bill which puts me on an austerity budget.

 

[joan]

You are correct about the tent not being over the ice rink Ron. The tents are next to the rink.

im off to see the wizard....

[Ron-NY]

I have my camera packed with extra batteries. Attending a private party at Carmine's on Friday night. Did the same last year and last year I was seated next to Andy Phillips (orchids on a stick, Andy)Great conversation on species. I believe we have reservations for Korean Barbecue for Sat night. Do you think I am food conscious?? :rollhappy:

Hello, went to the GNYOS Show today. Clerked at the ribbon judging and carried plants back and forth [miles] for AOS judging. My photos wont be the best because my camera seemed to have a mind of it's own while focusing. Someone said that's a sign the batteries are low. I was on the team [#10/15] that judged Complex Paphs and actually had some input on the choice for Best Cyp grown in Home plaque. For AOS judging there weren't many slippers, but I think a Cyp. regineae and a Paph delenatii alba, out of the 10-12 plants, got awarded. I bought a besseae flavum, a besseae hybrid, 4 jewel orchids, 3 Epi-catts [including a blood red and a white one], 15 Pleuros, Lepanthes, and Masdies. Piping Rock showed 2 Phrag. Haley Deckers and the Pk x Cape Sunset and has more Pk hybrids in the pipeline; there was another display w/ 5-6 diff. large Cypripediums; Andy's Orchids got some nice awards, all in all it was a good time. I'm giving tours in the afternoon then having dinner w/ Dennis Dalessendro tomorrow night. I saw a mini-multi-floral Paph glandiferum that I think I'll get tomorrow. I will post the best photos tomorrow AM. E.

Eric, what award did the Paph delenatii alba get? thanks Rusty

 

[Marco]

Sorry no camera. Maria was supposed to bring hers but she forgot. Eric, I was looking at name tags all over the place and I couldn't find you. The show was awesome. I finally got to see paphs in bloom in person!

I've posted some pictures of the show, more tomorrow. I was so busy running plants to and form the judges [especially the 20+ Lbs Cyps.] that one of the show coordinators personally thanked me for my work. I had the Blue Jeans w/ the Dragons hand painted on.

Sorry, the plant fell short w/ 74 points, I wasn't around to hear why. In the Family Cyp. thread there are pictures of the Phrag Kelly Nash that got an AM AOS. I have lots o' photos, so I'll also post non-slipper, Ikebana/Display threads. E.

From what i hear the plants got an HCC. I am not there of course but it is my plant. I will be there on sat however. I think the plant was over three weeks in bloom and the dorsal started to tilt and the flower got translucent. Again I am not there however just going by what people have told me.
