Psychopsis Kalihi (papilio x kramerianum) got Best of Show and an AM/AOS at the Traverse City show this past weekend. It got a little tangled up in transit back, but I wanted to photograph it before the flowers started fading.

Wow, Dot! That's wonderful! Congratulations!!! "Tangled in transit back"? Did you transport it to and from the show; or was someone else doing that for you? The blooms look pretty good in the photo; but, I guess you're telling us that there is some mechanical damage that it more evident in person? Too bad.

Congratulations Dot. That is pretty amazing.

Wow Dot! A veritable flock of butterflies:clap::clap:

Well, the spikes were already going every which way. I tried to straighten them up a bit before sending the plant to the show at the last minute. I think some of the spikes came off their support wires, and I didn't help it when I picked it up from the person who put the show together. I got it to my greenhouse late in the day, and I decided to photograph it as is rather than try to straighten things up because of time constraints. It looks OK -- it just looked a little better in the display.
