Thanks for sharing, I took off Wednesday to help setup / arrange all the structures and tables. Glad to see these spaces filled with tropical beauties. Hope to be able to swing by today.. no child care today or all weekend.. so 5yr old willing.

What a show indeed. I’m curious what the big pot of Laelia-ish yellow flowers is off to the left of first photo, then what’s the huge mound of tiny, closely packed growths with the yellow and whisky-colored little flowers in the middle background?

hahahahahah

we just saw that in judging yesterday.

for the Deepcut show, the person with the label maker created a 'Phrag rothschildianum' label we caught before it made onto a plant. he labeled a 'Richard Takafugi' as roth. conflated a phrag cross name into a clonal name on a roth...

we're taking the label maker away from him
