Re: your del x moq, to be fair, you'd have to compare it to all the Delophyllum (del X glauco) awards too since a bunch of those awards were to del x moq before RHS recognized the moq/glauco distinction.

BTW, re: your blurry pix, it has to be your camera NYE, you obviously aren't taking a picture of yourself there.

Hey Eric
For a fairly easy to use point & shoot camera, I have found the Nikon Coolpixs series really nice. I am on my 3rd one since 1998. Lately the Coolpixs S210 (about $ 150) and a tripod (about $20) and a piece of black cloth on a wall are my entire photo set up.

Or I just have to move the plant to a height my tripod can reach.

I was gonna say! Actually I use a cheap wooden bar stool to set alot of my plants on, usually a perfect height

To me, one of the great hopes of growing orchids is to discoverr or flower something new. This pleurothallis is an un-named, as far as I know, species from Bolivia.

Jewel orchids. Actually the malaxis pot has 4-5 different plants in it!

Paph Enid = bellatulum x spicerianum, it's getting straighter w/ each blooming - from A World of Orchids, in Kissimee.

What is the total plant height of the Pleurothallis? It is rather nice.

As for the Enid, it is now looking like it only sets Paph breeding back 50 years instead of setting paph breeding back 100 years. oke:

Just kidding, in reality, any plant that blooms year after year is a good plant.

What do you do with all the boxes your new orchids come in? Do you have 3-4 laying around? You've got a perfectly good, adjustable photo table - just throw a piece of felt over the boxes!

 

[NYEric]

LOL! I have orchids sitting on them!! :rollhappy:

 

[biothanasis]

Very beautiful bothy of them!!! I love the crystaline texture of the pleuro flowers!!! :clap:

 

[SlipperFan]

Cool Pleuro, especially. With all the interesting Pleurothallids displayed on this forum, I'm getting interested. (Not a bad photo, by the way, Eric.)

You're pleuro is neat!

[NYEric]

[JeanLux]

Meaning you have been into the water, too :drool:!!?? Or did you have your personal photographer along! !!! Jean

 

[NYEric]

No I went for a swim, it was fantastic and will be a ritual from now on.

 

[JeanLux]

Bravo!!!! Jean

A custom I used to think of as the sole province of old Norwegians. You get drunk, feel guilty about it, go take a plunge in the icy sea, go sit in a sauna for a bit, go out get drunk and repeat.

Pickle, freeze and dry.

Haha, I thought your post read "thongs at Coney Island." I'm glad none of those people in the photos were wearing thongs.
