NWOS Show

[luvsorchids]

It has taken awhile for me to get my act together. The Northwest Orchid Society Show was two weeks ago. It was my first effort (with no experience) in chairing a show. I am forever grateful to the other more experienced members who volunteered and to the people who brought some great plants for sale and display.

Some of the displays

Congrats, and thanx for posting. I think the mark of a good show is how many oohs and ahhhs you hear from neophytes and how the vendors do. Hopefully it was well received.

Slippers

Yay besseae hybrid

Paph. Bel Royal that received an HCC. You should have seen the "stalks" on this one-you could have used them for firewood.

Some Phals

A friend thought this one looked like a Chinese dragon face-I think I agree.

Afrodisa, that's so sexy!
thanx,

Easy there!

Lovely show, thanks for the look. Are my eye deceiving me, or is that a truly open air event? Pretty wild! (oh yes, the besseae hybrid is very cool)

 

[luvsorchids]

Thanks everyone.

The show was held at a large commercial nursery in their very large greenhouses, so wasn't truly open air.
