Some stunning orchids amongst those. But you can't go passed the roth with 3 spikes. Just wonderful. I'd be happy with that parishii as well. 8 flowers on a spike is impressive. Thanks for posting.

The roth is a wild collected plant originally, I know its history, and superbly grown into a clump. Note that for a wild collected plant the flowers are of good quality.

Magnificent Roth anyway.

Wonderfull show you attended!

The roth is very impressive, on my screen it looks like the roth has a reddish tint in all parts of the flower. Even the stripes on the dorsal seem to be reddish. Was it like that in person as well?

I like the rothschildianum as well. Regardless if its collected or not.

What a great show! Thanks for sharing your photos.

Definitely... But that's interesting to see that there are not line bred roths that are still eye catching.

The weird part, that plant and several others from the same owner are grown in tree fern with a pH of about 4.5... He uses fish emulsion onlyand tap medium hard water, and they grow like weeds.

Coelogyne dayana is fantastic !!!

Yes, if I'm not mistaken, it did have a reddish tint all over the flower.

This grower has quite a few intermediate/cool-growing species in his collection as he resides in the highlands. Almost all the paphs belong to him, including an impressive multi-growth mastersianum I posted before.

How old do you think is the plant?
