nice displays

It wasn't Ross's tag in the pot. My first thought, it was.

Yep that JB kicks butt. This the second blooming, again only two flowers. Maybe it will take a third or fourth blooming to increase the count. Still, a very cherry plant!

I picked up a lot of nice plants this show (at least I think so). All blooming size except for the charlesworthii (decided to give it a try again). 2 plant of PEOY X sand, Shin-Yi Pride X sand, MK X PEOY, Spiderman X sand, Stoney-o X roth, W. Ambler (in the PICs), Shin-Yi William, Iona, Wossner Bellarmi, dianthum (3 gr), 2 more plants of vietnamense and one Phrag lindenii. I also need to add, I dropped off 6 plants for Doug to sell which he in turn knocked off some on my bill.

I can't wait to get my hands on the philippinense var. album, one spike had 7 flowers!

Plant needs to be big to flower more.

Great pics! Just curious....did the coloratum Henrietta Fujiwara come from a Troy Meyers flask?

 

[SlipperKing]

I'm not sure Eric. I got it from a vendor at the Galveston show and didn't pay any attention to a company name. I'll have to take a look and back to you on that.

Hello All, what a great time Rick and I had at the show. Pretty much my favorite weekend of the year! I am dissappointed to say that I was so busy at the show I didnt buy a single plant. Needless to say I am shopping lists right now!! And I think the Johanna Burkhardt is even more impressive in person, if I could just coax a couple more flowers out of it next year. D
