Afternoon, Morning or Evening

So I went to the Malvern Orchid Show on Sat and come back with a lot of plants, a great day very hot though. It's part of the Royal Three Counties Show, so lots to see and do. Its a three day even, Here's a few snaps of displays.

Thanks for posting. I completely forgot to take my camera so didn't take any of merit with phone :-/

This was the only one worth posting (a very impressive Eric Young 'compot'):

What are the dactylrhizzas planted in? Just gravel?

Think it was just top-dressing. That whole display was a 'beach scene' theme.

Lovely displays. What plants followed you home?

Nice show! That specimen Thunia is huge!!! I did not expect a Thunia to dwarf a Dend Gatton Sunray beside it.. And do you happen to know the name of the flaming red dendrobium in the centre of the same photo?

What I brought was not all onthe same day I had order and paid before hand for some plants.

Phragmipedium X roethianum
Phragmipedium Incan Treasue

Paphiopedilum farreanum

That Thunia was tiny compared to the one in the RHS judging tent it was twice the size, there was also a massive gatton sunray as well will see if I have the pic for the gatton sunray didn't get a pic of the otherThunia

The first photo must have gotten a lot of EYOF Phrags, very sweet. BTW, your big "Eric Young Compot" is not Eric Young. And those dactylrhizzas.. :drool: Very uncommon here. Thanks again for sharing.

Well.... It was labeled up as an Eric Young and received a first place in the Amateur Phragmipedium category... Eric Young 'Orange Harmony' to be precise.

And...? The pouch with the ruffles on the lip and the spots inside is a giveaway that it's not an Eric Young. Look up other photos.

Seriously, I know you know far more than I about orchids but I can only go on my limited knowledge and what I've read in front of me. I wasn't sure if you could make out the name tag on the photo so double-checked my higher res version and posted accordingly

 

[NYEric]

No problem, the grower and the judges have it wrong. If they tested it's genetics it would probably show to be a Sargent Eric, or an Inca Embers.

Heres the massive Gatton Sunray that was on KJ Orchids stand.

 

[SlipperFan]

That plant would take up half my greenhouse!

 

[paphioboy]

Great specimen of Gatton Sunray..

 

[Happypaphy7]

Great display! It must have been a nice day for you!
Thanks for sharing.

In the second photo from the bottom on the very first posting, what is that big plant (that looks like bamboo sort of) bearing large white flowers with reddish orange lip? next to Gatton Sunray.

Happypaphy, I think it is Thunia Gattonensis.
