Greater Akron Orchid Show

[Djthomp28]

Our show is always small but it was smaller this year between changing venues and other factors. Again, the show rallied with excellent quality orchids on display and for sale from our great vendors.

Here are a few quick pics from the displays

High quality plants, Darlene! What is the Brachy Paph?
Besides your awarded red Phrag, your Phrag. A. R. is beautiful too!

 

[Djthomp28]

Thanks, @Tom-DE ! The brachy is Paphiopedilum Donvischilum - at the show and at home in the light box

I see some nice stuff in there! Hope you got to sniff the Cymbidiums, I see some in there that should be nice and fragrant.

I like all of the displays you photographed, especially the one that got a blue ribbon, though.

All beautiful! At this point in the winter, I really needed that break! Thanks for posting!

Never been to a show so it was wonderful to see all the displays virtually. Thank you.

Thanks for the great photos, Darlene. Display 10 shows that a display doesn’t have to be large in order to be an attention getter. Very tastefully done whoever the displayer was. I’m assuming an individual?

 

[Djthomp28]

Display 10 was from Natt's. They travel from Naperville, IL to our show every year. This year they had to divide and conquer to attend two shows on the same weekend.

Thanks Darlene,

I’ve dealt with Natt’s before, usually buy my fertilizer from them at our local shows. They’re a very nice couple.
