maybe, you could take a overview photo from those stadium seats looking down to the exhibition so we can appreciate how immense the whole show is.

Slippers 2nd to a lycaste!?!?

Oh well, thanx for sharing!

 

[eOrchids]

Amazing shots, Olaf! :drool:

You wouldn't happen to take a picture of the entire kovachii plant, would you?

I agree!!! great roth, and schomb., but fairrieanum is super!! Jean

 

[streetmorrisart]

Pretty spectacular--just stating the obvious there! And of course the slippers are great, but that lycaste is in fact superb too...very elegant. I like the fact that they don't necessarily feel the need to crown the largest plant in the show.

:drool: thanks for sharing!
I've gotta go to Japan for this one day!

 

[swamprad]

Thanks so much for posting these photos. Incredible!

 

[slippertalker]

They are all absolutely amazing! The Lycaste is truly deserving of the award, it is superior.....

By the photo which is not the best judging tool, I can see why the Lycaste won. That is one supurb Lycaste. BTW, that P. fairrieanum is beyond description and the P. roth', well, I hate them, that should be in my greenhouse.

Thanks for those pictures! The grand champion is very deserving. I love the way how they curl the leaves in an ikebana style to enhance the beauty of the plant as a whole. :clap::drool:

 

[streetmorrisart]

Somewhere hiding is my painting of my own lovely brassavola that was juried in. It's not remotely over the top though, just true to my own aesthetics. Second year in a row for me to be there in absentia!

 

[paphioboy]

Holy cow!! Those fairrieanums look so plastic-ky... Totally drool-worthy roth and lycaste...

 

[rdlsreno]
